...Curious Druggist. At World War I's end, the New York Times's Washington pundit, Arthur Krock, persuaded his friend Sullivan that the time was ripe for a Washington political column. Sullivan tried the New York Evening Post before he finally settled down with the Herald Tribune (then the Tribune...
...Stevenson burst into bloom. That week: 1) Truman called Stevenson to Washington, offered to support him for the presidency; 2) Stevenson appeared on TIME'S cover; 3) he made a good speech in New York to the National Urban League.

Its gist: since Truman and McGrath were agreed on holding up the Morris questionnaire and the need to dismiss Morris, it ought to be recorded in announcements by both the White House and the Justice Department. The President, said Krock, moved away from the argument. Later, McGrath and Short kicked it around some more; the presidential aide thought that both Morris and McGrath ought to go. The Attorney General protested that this would make him a "goat...
