...Manhattan, George Hopper, a meat packer from East St. Louis, Ill., hopped into the Hudson River, arms handcuffed behind him, and towed a canoe and two passengers six miles (swimming upstream) to the Jersey shore. Motive: he hoped to earn himself an invitation for a paid TV appearance to help pay for "surgery" for his two sons...
...believe himself "master in my own house." Two astonishing examples are enough to illustrate Giacomo Leopardi's total dependence on his parents: 1) he was 20 before he went out of the house unchaperoned; 2) he was 27 before his father let him cut up his own meat at the dinner table...
...More startling than the excellent exposition of the meat of the Oppenheimer case in TIME, June 28, was the box preceding it under the title "The Handout." TIME really outdid itself in this expression of journalistic candor, for the professional intellectuals in journalism have loudly boasted for years about reporting in the "public interest."

And lazy editors followed the lines handed...

Meat has become increasingly plentiful in recent months, and off-ration purchases of good cuts could frequently be made-for a price. Many Socialists predicted that de-rationing would send prices even higher, but at least Britain's housewives were legally free of one tyrant-the local butcher. Last week, after standing in queues outside butchers' doors for more than a decade, the Association of London Housewives got to their feet once more to stage a rally in Trafalgar...
