Asked by London newsmen what he now thought of the Reds, onetime Party-Liner Field moaned: "After what I've been through, there is no doubt of my attitude. Their method is not the Dale Carnegie method of making friends and influencing people." Was Noel Field a Communist, as testified by ex-Communist Courier Whittaker [Witness'] Chambers? Said Hermann: "I have never known whether Noel was . . ." Could Hermann explain why Noel and Herta, after doing a five-year stretch in a Hungarian prison, elected last November to stay in "asylum" in Hungary? And what about Erika, last reported...
Certain aspects of the original Wriston proposal should perhaps be revised to ensure that the scholarship program accomplishes its objectives. The present plan would give members of Congress the power to make most of the final scholarship selections. A better method might be for a three-men committee in each state, representing the Foreign Service, education, and the public, to choose the scholarship holders, as a minority of the Wriston Committee suggested.

What makes Mexico's sulphur doubly attractive is the fact that the deposits are located in gigantic salt domes, which can be mined by the Frasch process, the cheapest method known. (Superheated water is pumped into the ground to liquefy the sulphur, which is then pumped to the surface.) Costs range from $7 to $20 per ton, as low as one-tenth the cost of other methods, and far cheaper than the world market price...
...society pages for the names of new brides and phones them from pay booths at 4 a.m., a seven-foot Santa Claus who tampers with little girls. Author Bourjaily (whose first novel, The End of My Life, was hailed by some critics for its "lyric emotion") evidently has some method behind all this distasteful madness: he tries to show that the times are out of joint. But by the time King Al No. - 1 is put behind bars, it is clear that the dirty tricks that life has played on him cannot compare to the dirty trick his author...
