...smoke and skirmishing of the Army-McCarthy hassle last year, burly, bellicose H. (for Herman) Struve Hensel was one of the angriest men on the Pentagon side. Joe McCarthy correctly accused Hensel of "masterminding" the Army's case against McCarthy, falsely charged him with milking the Navy of $56,526.64 from ship-supply contracts during World War II. After the Senate Investigations Subcommittee dismissed the charges against Hensel, McCarthy obliquely admitted that they were false...
Humming through Georgia one night in his brand-new Oldsmobile, Georgia's ex-Governor Herman Talmadge, on his way home from a rousing speech to some farmers, ran into one of his state's worst rural problems. Two stray mules suddenly loomed up before his car on the road. "I hit one and turned over," recalled Talmadge. "It killed the mule. I'm just a little bruised." His car was a total wreck.

...oldest and noisiest foes of Senator Joe McCarthy is Herman M. Greenspun, 45, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun (circ. 12,437).

Under Director Herman Shumlin's able supervision, there are plenty of vivid snapshots and plenty of lively moments, but the play provides no sustained drama. And what does seem fictional seems all too much so: a vapid love story between Scopes and a hard-shell preacher's daughter; a Mencken who talks more like a smarty-pants cribbing from the real Mencken's prose. But if Inherit the Wind...
...three Hollywood movie companies said they wanted to film his life story. Back to the Lab. In their own way, politicos paid tribute to Dr. Salk by ringing statements concerning fair and even distribution of the vaccine. The New York Post echoed New York's Health Commissioner Herman E. Hilleboe in screaming for federal controls. And what of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, with its 250 headquarters personnel and 3,100 chapters spread across the U.S.? Dr. Salk, who worked successfully to a sweeping solution of its problem, suggested that medical science should turn its biggest guns next...
