...other Communist-front can carry along well-meaning youth in the most despicable form of political exploitation, the real job is not to look under the bed but to offer a genuine progressive program in the democratic organizations. A witch-hunt indiscriminately pinning the Red label to independent-thinking individuals or magnifying the significance of the neurotic schoolboy Party Liner will only serve to arouse thousands of students across the country in defense of civil liberties. The informed in every stratum of society will surely resist obvious hysteria-shenanigans. Republican leaders are inviting near-unanimous condemnation from intelligent citizens...
Senator MeKellar's attempt to label Lilienthal as a dangerous radical failed. In this latest move in his bitter fight with the ex-TVA head over the latter's failure to bow to the Senator's patronage pressures, McKellar bias was too much even for his anti-Lilienthal associates. But, the more recent statements of Republican Senators Bridges, Wherry and Moore are all the more dangerous for their pious disavowal of McKellar's prejudiced position while, in the same breath, they say that they will oppose Lilienthal because it would be unwise to approve a man on whose character...
...more likely object of close scrutiny might rather be sports that openly accept the label of professional.

Theodore White and Miss Jacoby feel that American policy has more to offer than an endorsement of a social structure that the great mass of Chinese rejects. By pressuring the Nanking government into the widest possible program of reform, the State Department...
Some years ago, theorists of the Keynes-Hansen school were summarily tagged as "pump-primers." That emotionally charged label no longer does them justice. Professor Hansen argues tellingly for an integrated set of Federal policies which will diminish the roller-coaster swings of the economy from prosperity to ruin. The recommended measures include such familiar short-run ones as expanded public works in depression and cyclically adjusted tax burdens, together with attempts to get at the more fundamental factors through income redistribution, subsidized consumption, and active encouragement of private investment. The nation's best-known advocate of deliberate fiscal planning...
