...idea for a congressional investigation. A Post editorial campaign helped assure civilian control of the Atomic Energy Commission. Measuring the paper's direct impact on Government, the late Lord Northcliffe, publisher of the London Daily Mail and other papers, once said: "Of all the American papers, I would prefer to own the Washington Post...
...Robert Preston, the role of Nat Bentley is as magnetic as sin. Playwright Ronald Alexander has surrounded him with zany astrologers of the marketplace-hack writers, foxy talent agents, dubbed-in laugh effects men-who cast horoscopes under the sign of the dollar to see if the public will prefer the TV story of a myna bird that refuses to talk or a chimpanzee that plays Lady Macbeth.

...solely the fault of the teaching fellows. Graduate students who wish to teach must squeeze in pedagogical duties between the demands of their own courses, the pressure of a thesis, worries about future employment, and often, the cares of a new family. No wonder many of them much prefer hefty fellowships which relieve them of the need to teach. And no wonder both the graduate students and the departments concerned often regard teaching fellowships as a supplementary form of financial...
