...Driberg, cocky Daily Express columnist (pen name: William Hickey) and leftist M.P., was excited too. Buchman, he protested in the House of Commons, was nothing but a "soapy racketeer who never repudiated his admiration for Hitler and Himmler." Before the war his MRA (Moral Re-Armament) had been surrounded by an odor other than that of sanctity. Buchman's preoccupation with "key men" was believed to have made Hitler desirable in his eyes...
Since 1938, Quintanilla (now 50) has lived quietly with his handsome U.S. wife and son Paul, 6, in a Greenwich Village apartment. But bombs still go off in his head, and he has not stopped fighting Franco. His latest attack: a book of pen & ink souvenirs of Franco's Black Spain (Reynal & Hitchcock; $3.50). As calm and bitter as a cup of etching acid, the drawings are sure to cut deep into democratic consciences...

Eversharp, which has threatened for months to bring out its pen, finally did. It claimed all the usual tricks for its CA (Capillary Action) pen, such as writing under water. It also boasted: 1) a cartridge-type refill; 2) choice of different colored inks; 3) a higher price, $15 plus jewelry tax. Eversharp had spent $2,000,000 for research and for the North and Central American rights to the Biro pen (TIME, Aug. 21, 1944), forerunner of the present crop of pens. But what Eversharp had got for its money was not clear, as new ball pens were turned...
