...CRIMSON went too far. Its libelous, malicious, and inaccurate story attempting to associate me with the Ku Klux Klan, the Cross and the Flag and other fanatic groups is the epitome of what one might expect to read in a description of the United States by Pravda or Izvestia. The gravity of the implied association with the KKK is emphasized by the fact that that group is on the Attorney-General's list of subversive organizations...

Izvestia, the government mouthpiece, was unhappy, accused "right-wing bourgeois groups" of using "all means, including provocations," to defeat Finland's Communists...

Tamm fears that potential scientists are being lost to factory work, argues that competitive exams should determine university admission rather than the widely used standard of "political consciousness." Tamm also envies the freedom of U.S. professors to conduct pure research, contrasts it with the Soviet system. Russian professors carry a teaching load of 20 hours a week, far more than U.S. professors. The Russians thus fall behind their fields, says Tamm, and cannot teach as well...
