...director will take orders from them and have no more than administrative power. To that job Harry Truman named quiet, 53-year-old Rear Admiral Sidney William Souers (rhymes with flowers), Naval Reservist, onetime Missouri businessman (life insurance, linen service, real estate, Piggly-Wiggly stores). Harry Truman knew him as an old friend. Businesslike Admiral Souers, who has had more active duty than most Reservists, is one of the few men to achieve flag rank without going to sea. For eight years he served as Senior Intelligence Officer in St. Louis. His latest Navy job: deputy chief of Naval Intelligence...
After four years of defeat, imprisonment and abuse, the Dutch in Indonesia are morose, sullen and apparently unable to cope with the vigorous native independence movement.

Preaching & Parties. The man who evokes this sentimental, semantic medley of adoration and respect is a little (5 ft.) youngish (40) bespectacled, homely, eloquent son of a French naval officer. Before the war Sartre was a relatively unknown professor of philosophy (1930-43). During the war he spent nine months in a German war prison, then emerged to play an active role in the Resistance (he served with the Communist-dominated Front National). Now he is France's most discussed writer: his temple, the respectably bohemian Cafe de Flore on the Left Bank. There he spends most...
