...fresh hardship to the land. Absenteeism dogged the factories. Ohrbach's department store in Manhattan looked like a morgue; other New York City stores reported 25% and 33% losses in business. "It definitely hurt unemployment," said a Labor Department expert. "It slowed up construction and farming." Wrote Washington Pundit David Lawrence: "People just don't go downtown shopping or begin to look at the new cars in the salesroom when they can't even get back and forth from work...
...Sherman Adams, reaction was even more acute. Snapped the Republican New York Herald Tribune: "The President was on the right road-the high road. Adams was on the muddy one-the low road." Tut-tutted Pundit Walter Lippmann: "In the position he occupies and with the immunity which he claims, Mr. Adams should not make speeches at all."

They were expounded by him within the Democratic Administration early in 1949, and rejected. They are today contrary...
...bylined Hearst exposé specialist. A special investigator for the late Senator McCarthy, Rushmore testified before House committees as an "expert witness" on Communism, earned the Wisconsin Senator's praise as "one of our outstanding Americans at this time." After a much-publicized feud with Lawyer Roy Cohn, Pundit George Sokolsky and other pro-Joes, Rushmore was fired by the Hearst press "for economy reasons," signed on with Confidential, resigned as editor before testifying against Confidential in the Hollywood libel trials (TIME, Aug. 26), before his death was debt-haunted, hopefully trying for an assignment from the Police Gazette...
