...article further implies the Muslims' role in the scare in the paragraph concerning the CRIMSON's query to Lincoln as to whether he had received any "direct threats" from the Muslims, the word "direct" being the CRIMSON's. Lincoln's negative answer is followed by the assertion that "the Muslims did, however, have a 'steadily growing temple'" in Boston. The word "however" is again the CRIMSON's, leading us to assume that Lincoln's statement was taken out of context to give the impression that the growing temple was responsible for the bomb threat...
Truth v. Charity. The ambush was done skillfully: one anonymous paragrapher wrote slyly that a reader "has been for several days afflicted with a lethargy, owing to the perusal of three chapters" of Hawkins' book. The implication is unjust; Hawkins is long-winded but not dangerously sedative, and even the digressions cut out by Editor Davis (an essay on taverns, a list of 14 ways a criminal may avoid justice) sound rather lively. Boswell sums up the remaining objections in the fourth paragraph of his own Life. He charges Hawkins with solemnity and digressiveness (true), inaccuracy (partly true...
Your front page story of October 5th dealing with my alleged views about disarmament reached a new low of irresponsibility and misrepresentation.

Are you really suggesting that the "USIA propaganda techniques" are morally or technically comparable with "this era of McCarthy purges"? McCarthy was--in his own way--brilliantly successful for a time. Are you suggesting that USIA is also brilliantly successful and uses McCarthy's methods...
...report says innocently, as though this development were independent of any action on Harvard's part, the College's scholarship endowment and the amount of its awards both doubled, and "the College continued to help about one-quarter of each class with scholarships." The rest of the single paragraph given to scholarships--possibly the most important issue discussed in the report--consists of generalizations about loans and part-time jobs...
