Respect for Dawson's skill has now gone up, and his moral repute has taken a tumble. Curator John Manwaring Baines of Hastings Museum found that five more antiquities that had been lent to the museum by Dawson and later bought from his widow, who sold them in good faith, were no more genuine than Piltdown man. Flint instruments proved to be of modern manufacture, and a "Roman" cast-iron statuette turned out to be a small, recent copy of a full-size statue in Rome. When not busy with antiquities, the industrious Dawson "wrote" a two-volume history...
Lost: an Open Mind. In secret, aboard an ice-covered Soviet vessel, Ho Chi Minh put into Leningrad. "So here you are!" a Communist contact greeted him, and for two years the Russians paid him flattery. In Leningrad they lent Ho a fur coat, treated him to roast meats and two-finger-long cigarettes. In Moscow they invited Ho, about 30 years old, to sit with the President of the Third International.

First Day. An awareness that failure could shatter the Atlantic alliance lent a grave and urgent air to the chandeliered conference room where the nine foreign ministers assembled at the invitation of British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. They sat about a huge, hollow, rectangular table covered with deep blue felt-Chairman Anthony Eden, lounging debonairly; John Foster Dulles, doodling; Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak, looking more than ever like a plumper and younger Winston Churchill; Canada's L. B. Pearson; Konrad Adenauer, gaunt and silent; Gaetano Martino, at his first international appearance as Italy's Foreign Minister...
