After World War II, French existentialists found new kinship with Sade's bitter cynicism. Simone de Beauvoir called him a "great writer and a great moralist." Albert Camus argued that Sade explained Naziism's "reduction of man to an object of experiment." Psychologists conceded that in his recognition of the impulse to cruelty in sexual relations, he anticipated some of Freud's thinking. Responding to this interest, alert, young Publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert printed a 28-volume set of Sade's complete works, put them on public sale for the first time in France in unexpurgated...
...made the biggest splash in Chicago last week was one that nobody got to see. When the Chicago Tribune's WGN scheduled the biographical film Martin Luther for its U.S. TV première, Roman Catholics swamped the station with protesting letters, postcards and telephone calls. Sample: "We object to you showing the film because it makes a hero out of a rat." WGN abruptly canceled the movie. That set up a new clamor.

He immediately became the unwilling object of affection of various "Christian Herter for President in case Eisenhower doesn't run" clubs, and Harold Stassen started a noisy campaign to have him replace Dick Nixon as vice-presidential candidate. But Herter refused to turn against his old colleague. He not only supported Nixon but, in a dramatic moment at San Francisco, placed him in nomination...
Actually, Washington did not object too much to being the scapegoat if that would help solve the crisis. By week's end the uproar, beneath its superficial abusiveness, was in fact creating fresh evidence that the character and vitality of the U.S.'s No. 1 ally was plainly not moribund. Many thoughtful Britons, in debating the crisis internally, had reasoned their way through the confusion to a new understanding of Britain's basic instincts for law and order. And in doing so they were once again in tune with that once-honored Freeman of the City...
