...plain-shoutin' little man was Fiorello LaGuardia, ex-mayor of New York, now head of UNRRA, who had swooped into North Dakota, wearing a pearl-grey sombrero. Secretary of Agriculture Clint Anderson, wearing a tie painted with pink and yellow apples, was with him-at LaGuardia's urgent request. For two days they had scurried across Red River Valley, looking for wheat for UNRRA...
...though only a Nazi could have prepared it-and apparently one had. He was natty 42-year-old Dr. Heinrich Dörge, reputedly the favorite disciple of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and Schacht's right-hand man in running Germany's famed Industrial Credit Bank.

We would insist that Russia either share the secret or "destroy every atomic bomb, smash every facility for making another," before a basis of unity could be established and the U.N. fulfill its proper function...
...Robert Conway and the New York Daily News, which he represents, think there is no hunger in Europe today [TIME, April 1]. Conway ate well in black market restaurants in England, France, and Italy. He was never so well fed in America since Pearl Harbor, he reports; therefore, no one starves in Europe. . . . Is this what complacent America wants to hear, while a half-billion people starve...
