...from a series of 25 fairly innocuous letters from Galbraith that had been discovered in Vassall's apartment (TIME, Nov. 16). Now he declared that, "however preposterous, however wicked and however vile" the charges, it was his "duty" to appoint a judicial tribunal to investigate the story -though hitherto he had brushed aside persistent Opposition demands for such a tribunal. This, Macmillan concluded, was "the only machinery open to us for the defense of innocent men if they be innocent, but for their condemnation if they be guilty...
Thus, in his bitter political swan song, California's defeated Republican candidate for Governor lifted to national attention a hitherto obscure political reporter for the Los Angeles Times. No man desired the distinction less. For all his 35 years at the game, Carl Greenberg, 54, has aspired to be no more than he is: a competent newsman, working diligently at his craft. Nixon's accolade left him in the uncomfortable position of a man who has, for no good reason, been irreparably separated from his peers. "I feel like calling the Times and telling them to mail...

Sure to provoke a row when it comes out next month is Letters from the Earth, containing hitherto unpublished, antireligious essays by Humorist Mark Twain. In the guise of Satan writing to the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, Twain pictures man as the foolish and conceited victim of his own preposterous religious beliefs. Coming from manuscripts dated in the last few years before Twain's death in 1910, the book was pieced together by the late Bernard DeVoto in 1939. But the content so disturbed Twain's Christian Scientist daughter, Mrs. Clara Clemens Samossoud, now 88, that she refused...
