...force within "effective" striking distance of Russia. A minimum of seven divisions would be needed to protect the base from overland attack by massed armies. The ground troops alone-to say nothing of 125,000 Air Force officers and men-would require 12,500 tons of supplies daily. Movement of this tonnage from the U.S. and protection of this one base from sea attack would involve a major naval force...
...facts show that the tactics of movement in concentrated force recently adopted by the new Greek army leaders have proved wiser and brought the first good results in the Pieria battle. The civilian population bears the brunt of the bandits, and is right in asking the army to guard them and their villages. However, this is not the wisest way of coping with banditry because, if dispersed, the army is weak. It is only possible to defeat banditry by concentration of our forces. The army must strike and its punches must be harder than those of the bandits. Therefore...

...quit as managing editor of New York's Daily Worker (TIME, Oct. 22, 1945) to rejoin the Roman Catholic Church, Convert Hyde took along his two children. His wife, a Communist for ten years, also quit the party. Said Hyde: "It became obvious to me that the movement for which I had fought and worked so long was destroying those very freedoms and decencies for which it claimed to be fighting. . . . Communism was incapable of providing a cure for an extremely sick world. My growing disillusionment led me to seek some other answer. . . . The time is ripe for large...
