...Trouble. It began successfully enough. Its 112-page catalogue attracted more than 100 students from the U.S., and eventually 17 more from as far away as India and Korea. But as the months passed, things began to go wrong on the 75-acre campus. Last August 48 teachers and employees filed suit for $66,500 in unpaid salaries. Later the telephones were disconnected, the heat was shut off, and the local rug merchant came around to take back his carpeting. Last fall. $215,000 in debt, Belin filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. He explained that the Texas insurance companies...
...irresponsible fashion in which the daily press covered the Civil War.

The Herald Tribune, "being a fair and decent paper," Hagerty added pointedly, would give his rebuttal the same Page One play it had given to Buchwald's "unadulterated rot." The intrepidly pro-Ike Trib complied...
...multicolored emanation that Theosophists saw gleaming about each other. Krishnamurti displayed big black eyes and a set of irrefutable (because unstatable) notions of a vaguely ethical tinge; e.g., "Truth being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized." He lived on vegetables, and on the front page, and the wonder is that he managed to preserve a sort of dignity amid the spiritual circus that Theosophists created about...
