Blunt Hint. Before a military court of inquiry, Dides at first stuck to his refusal to reveal his source. But after a second grilling, he revealed that he got the papers from a shady little Tunisian named André Baranès, a fellow-traveling journalist. As Dides described him, Baranes played the doubly devious game of passing government secrets to the Reds and Red secrets to Dides. Where did Baranes get the documents , he handed over to Dides? "A policeman." said Dides "doesn't ask his agents where they get things." Baranes,however, could not be found...
Interview with McCarthy. At war's end he began his first column: "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted."

This fact, Rorty and Decter point out, gave McCarthy a solid runway for his take-off as a Communist fighter in 1950. They grant that the furor caused by McCarthy did help to bring needed attention to the problem of Communist infiltration. But at about that point, the credit side of their...
...word, "fulfillment" has had quite rise in recent years. It appears in publishing ("circulation fulfillment"), socialism ("plan fulfillment"), psychoanalysis ("wish fulfillment"), but most of all as applied to modern woman, who always wants to be fulfilled. The latest application is made by British Author-Journalist Lesley Blanch, who wonders out loud how modern woman can be fulfilled "as a woman, [without] seeking escape from her own nature...
