...Crowther's kept on running. After hasty conferences, the Mirror's Editor Jack Lait tossed the Considine piece out of his later Sunday editions, and New Yorkers heard no more about Considine Parts II, III AND IV. Obviously the Crowther pieces (TRUMAN DIDDING U.S.TO ACCEPT MARXIAN IDEAS ) were the new official Hearst line. Crowed Crowther: "Hearst edited it himself...

U.S.F.S.R. In London 60 years ago, when he was red-bearded and in his 20s, George Bernard Shaw joined the newly founded Fabian Society.† It was a socialist group, ambitious to reconstruct "society in accordance with the highest moral possibilities."
