...quotes New York Times Correspondent Tolischus' anecdote quoting Stalin as having reassured a Baltic foreign minister with the words, "Never mind, I'll protect you from these great Russians"-meaningful words turned meaningless because of a slight error. The reference is, of course, to imperialist traditions of Tsarist days, when the Great-Russians (Velikorussy) dominated the White-Russians (Belorussy), the Little-Russians (Malorussy) or Ukrainians and countless non-Russians, including the Baltic nationalities and Stalin's own native Georgians.

...Harvard two weeks ago, "The New York Times" stated triumphantly that authorities were beginning a quiet and efficient drive against "red" groups in the University. The story turned out to be almost completely false. Just a few days later when unimpeachable sources reported that a new "ism"-- the Yale Imperialist Association--had long been burrowing beneath the Yale Campus, "The Times" refused to touch it. Only the courageous "Yale News" dared print that undergraduates "tossed off their vodka, smashed their glasses against the wall, and pledged their White Russian honor to the Romanoffs...
