...illegitimate son, Colby Simpkins-a young man who yearns to be an organist. If Sir Claude's wife, Lady Elizabeth, should take a liking to Colby, Sir Claude means to adopt him. Already part of the household are Lucasta Angel, his illegitimate daughter, and B. (for Barnabas) Kaghan, a foundling whom Lucasta plans to marry. Lady Elizabeth too, in her youth, had an illegitimate son whom she lost all trace of; and being a woman with a flutter-brained, highhanded contempt for facts, she decides that Colby is her son, not Sir Claude...
...Confidential Clerk Eliot again presents what looks like a group of very worldly people. In the first act he encourages us to assimilate them to familiar theatrical types. Lucasta Angel is a rather spoiled and forward young woman. B. Kaghan is a flashy sort of practical joker who is amusingly disrespectful concerning Lady Elizabeth, the absent-minded dowager who dabbles in spiritualism. After the first act there was much disappointed all in the lobby about the predictable lines, tired characterizations, and old fashioned exposition. In the second act our conceptions of these characters are wrenched out of shape. In response...
Germans as well as State Department employees were less amused, wryly or otherwise, by the news that a State Department investigator, acting on his own, was drawing up a list of all who attended a farewell party for Theodore Kaghan, the HICOG official forced to resign after he tangled with Senator McCarthy.

Among those present: new High Commissioner...
Also, McCarthy has set his own wierd rules of proof. Theodore Kaghan, Deputy Director of Public Affairs in Germany, gave, in evidence of his political purity, character references from former anti-Communist Chancellor of Austria, Leopold Figl, Berlin Mayor Ernst Reuter, and Geoffrey Keyes, ex-High Commissioner of Austria. Balancing against these references some lines in Kaghan's plays, written around 1930, and the fact that he roomed from 1935 to '40 with a suspected Communist, McCarthy has demanded more testimony...
...Frankfurt, Cohn charged that Theodore Kaghan, deputy director of HICOG's Public Affairs Division, had once "signed a Communist Party petition and authored pro-Communist plays." In Bonn, Kaghan said that he was eager to explain to McCarthy and his committee. Moreover, he added, he had been engaged in anti-Soviet propaganda work in Europe "for more years than Senator McCarthy's two junketing gumshoes have been out of school." (Cohn and Schine are both 26 years old.) The Schnuffler telephoned Washington frequently, interviewed scores of anonymous Germans and Austrians, refused all social overtures of the press. Though...
