...Hint. Three days later, a Pravda reporter got further details from Joe Stalin himself. Asked the reporter: "What is your opinion of the hubbub raised recently in the foreign press in connection with the test of an atom bomb in the Soviet Union?" Replied Stalin: "Indeed, one of the types of atom bombs was recently tested in our country. Tests of atom bombs of different calibers will be conducted in the future as well." He repeated the Communist propaganda line that the Soviet Union stands for outlawing atomic bombs. Most Russians do not know that the U.S.S.R. has wrecked...
...atomic pundits speculated that the blast had gone off some time within the last month, were surprised that it hadn't come sooner.

When Richard Sorge, masquerading as a Nazi newsman, arrived in Japan in the early 19303 to set up his Red-spy network, he used Miss Smedley's contacts as his Japanese coconspirators, said Willoughby. The Sorge ring...
...added to the score cards of their Sportsman's Park rivals: ''The Cardinals, a dignified St. Louis Institution." The note was good for a few tired jeers from fans who remembered the Cards' rowdy old Gas House Gang. But it was not the kind of hint to faze Showman Bill Veeck, who operates on the theory that baseball can be the greatest show on earth...
