...morning last week, two men walking their dogs in a wooded park two miles from Bang-Jensen's Long Island home came across Bang-Jensen's body sprawled beside a leaf-strewn bridle path, a bullet hole in his temple. Near by lay a stubby, .25-cal. automatic. In his pocket police found a farewell note addressed to his wife. The police verdict: suicide.* Said the Danish newspaper Information: "This is murder, in whatever way it happened...
Throughout his career as a hard-digging reporter, tough, growling Ray Brennan nursed his doubts about the Touhy conviction. Somehow the case kept crossing his path. In 1950, for example, having left the A.P. and gone to the Chicago Sun-Times, Brennan got hold of the secret transcripts of the testimony before the Kefauver crime-investigating Senate committee made by the then Democratic candidate for Cook County sheriff.

Just as they were about to meet face to face, suave Jacques Chaban-Delmas, responding to advance warnings from Socialists, deftly steered the shortsighted general off in another direction. But it was an unsettling portent. Glumly, the organizers of every public affair that De Gaulle is expected to attend...
...even the wildest admirer of McKinley could hope to explain away the President's regard for big business. Yet Author Leech shows McKinley as his own man. If he rooted for the trusts, it was because he believed that business and U.S. destiny were on the same path. If he took the U.S. into war and a great-power role, it was because he knew that the hour had struck for isolationism...
