There are many examples to support such an approach to "tattling." Former Communists can easily be mistaken about their associates. Former Communist Granville Hicks '23 has said that he was convinced that Furry left the party in 1939, at approximately the time Hicks dropped his own party membership. Yet Furry actually remained a Communist until 1947. Acquiesence with the demands of an investigating committee need not, then, conflict with "traditional American ethical standards" on informing...
...This kind of defiance... may be altogether unwarranted in law; it may also reflect a mistaken estimate of a particular persons it is intended to protect. Nevertheless, it is an open and candid assumption of individual moral responsibility of a sort that is expected of men and women in a society where the individual conscience is recognized as the supreme authority. It is a course more likely to produce public respect and self-respect than any pleading of a constitutional immunity. And if it does not save the pleader from prison, it will save him at least from an enduring...
...people of the U.S. had never been so prosperous (see BUSINESS). Never before had the breadwinner taken home so much money; in March and April, aftertax pay of the average factory worker with three dependents was around $70 a week.

Most dramatic were the men of stone and bronze, who appear to be literally walking, their heavy legs striking the ground with earth-shaking strides (see cut). Taken together, they suggest a strange yet disquieting voyage back to the mysterious ruins of Stonehenge and beyond...
...know where I could hide-where I could run to." The manager (Shelley Winters) of a mambo troupe (actually Katherine Dunham's) suggests that Silvana go along with them. Says Shelley: "This girl has a very important talent"-for the dance, she means, but she is mistaken. Silvana mambos like a self-conscious tourist. Her real talent is her uncanny beauty, all cool glow and rich simplicity, and a sensational figure. Then, too, it takes no little skill to read with a straight face such lines as those with which this picture concludes: "There was left to me only...
