...Dark Hint. Before the U.S. Senate's Armed Services Subcommittee hearings on military "muzzling" (TIME, Feb. 2) had gone much farther last week, it was apparent that Strom Thurmond and Arthur Sylvester would never really understand each other-and that the trouble was more than a matter of accent. As the Senate's foremost critic of the Defense and State Departments' policy of reviewing public statements by military leaders, Thurmond was trying to prove that censorship has been capricious-and worse. There has been, he darkly hinted, a "secret, defeatist" policy within the State Department to prevent...
Tired Cops. Beuve-Méry's hint of S.A.O. immunity was made explicit last week at Nimes, where a plastiqueur was to go on trial. Three members of the jury panel said they would serve only "under constraint"-reportedly they had received threatening S.A.O. letters.The judge fined them $10 each and postponed the trial. In Paris, the Societé Parisienne de Surveillance, largest of France's private detective agencies, was turning away business, told a prospective client who had been frightened by an S.A.O. threat: "We are up to our eyes in work.

"Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," unquestionable" on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may well match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary. Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous--that, smile as we may at its follies, or denounce...
...First hints of the new line went out to Moscow via the shrewd, cautious U.S. Ambassador in Moscow, Llewellyn E. Thompson. Donning his karakul hat, Thompson paid a call on Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. His task was once again to probeMoscow's intentions. After 2-½ hours of cautious verbal fencing, Gromyko still wanted to talk only about getting Western troops out of Berlin, offered no hint whatsoever of any Russian concessions. "It was agreed that the discussions will be continued," Thompson announced carefully...
