...yesterday even the CRIMSON went too far. Its libelous, malicious, and inaccurate story attempting to associate me with the Ku Klux Klan, the Cross and the Flag and other fanatic groups is the epitome of what one might expect to read in a description of the United States by Pravda or Izvestia. The gravity of the implied association with the KKK is emphasized by the fact that that group is on the Attorney-General's list of subversive organizations...
Finally, the problem child ran away with a "flashily dressed, middleaged" Middle Eastern diplomat. Two and a half years later.

...Sage Observations." Since Roosevelt's death, the Russians have often held up his policies as an object lesson to other U.S. Presidents on how to deal with the Soviet Union. And so it was last week. Said Pravda, making the point bluntly: "It would be wise for present-day Western statesmen who assert that coexistence is a trap set by Communists to remember [President Roosevelt's] sage observations...
