...Things. The cops wondered, at first, whether Alice would really use her .38. She settled that in 1927 when she surprised a 14-year-old boy stripping a car. When he tried to run away, she dropped him with a slug in the right thigh. In 1934, detailed to hunt purse-snatchers, she winged her second thief with one shot. A month later, she shot another thief...
...well-known yarn of beautiful, mysteriously murdered Laura Hunt still has its tingling moments. One of them is when Laura walks into her apartment, big as life, at a tense moment of the search for her slayer. But in general, the problem of who killed the blonde who was mistaken for Laura is much less tense than talky.

Last week, the board unanimously confirmed 45-year-old Herold C. Hunt as its new superintendent. Three days later the N.C.A.C.S.S. took Chicago off its blacklist...

The field of free inquiry, then, must by its nature oppose a mentality which presumes to pass on a man's right to an education in accordance with its whims about his "company." Plainly, the danger of the unchallenged witch hunt is that it can quite conceivably begin defining as ineligible Communist soreheads all students it considers in any way "difficult"--from pacifists to students who support a larger allotment, or who simply protest energetically the allocation of Yale game tickets. Possibly the most pathetic figure of this situation would...
