...dark at last in the Kyrenia Mountains of Cyprus and the British Commando officer has no appetite for the task he must now perform. He assembles his squad for a patrol, but his mind is on another night like this, 14 years ago. Then he was the hunted, a fugitive from the Nazis who had poured into Greece. Three young Greeks sheltered him, then carried him in a tiny caique away from Greece to safety. Now the officer is the hunter, and it is time to hunt down Greeks as brave and as passionate for freedom as those who saved...
Only with apprehension and some alarm can the American press view the current activities of Senator Eastland's Internal Security Subcommittee. No properly conducted investigation of Communist infiltration of newspapers is objectionable; but the present inquiry shows signs of becoming a fear-breeding witch hunt, and that in an area where freedom of thought and expression is most valuable...
Indispensable Man. By the time Ochsner took over, conditions were vastly different from that January Monday in 1835 when eleven students gathered before Dr. Thomas Hunt, a ripe young 26, in a Unitarian church, to start the first medical school in all the Louisiana Purchase territory.

He lives in a relatively modest red brick corner house, with...
Dominican Playboy Porfirio Rubirosa moseyed into Bogotá, Colombia to make preparations for a genuine treasure hunt. Bracing himself for his safari's plunge into the Choco wilds on Colombia's Pacific Coast, Rubi, out to make the jungle give up some platinum and gold, first tested his luck at a race track, won a cool 9,600 pesos on a 100-to-1 shot. He also took his ease in Bogotá's elegantly stuffy Jockey Club, where he complained about the absence of vodka (he thirsted in vain for a Bloody Mary). Colombia...
