...third-degree interview shows (The Mike Wallace Interview, Night Beat] nurture the hope that they may one day see the victim turn on the inquisitor and cut him down to size. Last week it happened. In Manhattan, WABD's Night Beat filled its "hot seat" with Journalist Randolph Churchill, only son of Sir Winston. He listened politely to his introduction as a man who has been labeled "outspoken, ill-tempered and fearless."

Nugget: "How many books can any man read? A supposedly well-informed journalist has written that Hitler undoubtedly read most of the 7,000 military books in his library.
