In a bracing new book on Congress and the American Tradition (Henry Regnery; $6.50), a conservative political philosopher speaks up this week in Congress' defense. The defender: muscular-minded James Burnham, 53, former New York University philosophy professor who made a still-rippling intellectual splash back in 1941 with...

Perhaps well-qualified and articulate spokesmen of the conservative position are hard to come by, but it is unfortunate that Harvard's faculty ranks do not include more voices to challenge those of Seymour Harris...
Roosevelt, however, dismissed this argument in his letter to Pusey: "To give the excuse that the Loyalty Board had cleared Dr. Bunche--if so be the case--does not excuse the nominating committee. The past decade has shown what type of people often creep into the Loyalty Boards from mysterious sources." In its booklet of documentation, The Alliance, Inc. states that Bunche...
