Bulgaria's shaky government got no rest from proddings by Germany's enemies to quit Germany's war. Latest poke came last week from Moscow's Pravda and the pen of Bulgar Georgi Dimitroff, onetime defendant at Naziism's Reichstag fire trial and secretary of the late unlamented Communist International (see p. 20).

...burning fervor is all it takes to make a feared and respected slinger of the pen; the Friendly Editors will supply in concentrated lessons what you lack in experience. In Harvard's only course in journalistic style, all comers will learn how to be gentle, how to be sentimental, how to boost subtly a pet idea, and, last but not least, how to don the silver armor (which hangs freshly polished, semperparatus, behind the Managing Editor's desk) and ride roughshod over the tyrants of University Hall and drive the money changers from Lehman. They will be received...
