Nuremberg Revisited. "Greenhouse With Cyclamens," principal of these essays, begins with the Nuremberg trials, ends with Western Germany's trade revival under Allied occupation. Those who believe "it was right that the Nazis should have been punished for what they did to the Jews" but not right that they should have been punished for "aggressive war" get a sharp rap over the knuckles. Legalist West argues that precisely the reverse is true; no law ever existed under which the leaders of one nation could punish the leaders of another for having murdered their own nationals, whereas "aggressive...
...information, the confidant of Democratic leaders in the legislature, a star witness in committee hearings. He slapped no back, bought no drinks. What he offered was facts, figures, arguments and Sam Gompers' old principle of political action for the A.F.L.: to reward labor's friends and punish its enemies.

For example, the $1,000,000 in insurance policies that ABC has taken out does not cover Winchell for punitive damages, i.e., where the court orders damages paid to "punish for maliciousness," as in the $175,000 paid to Author Quentin Reynolds in his suit against Hearst Columnist Westbrook Pegler (TIME, July 5). Winchell asked that his protection be changed to make it "foolproof." When ABC balked, he asked to end his four-year-old lifetime contract...
...obstruct without any apparent sense of party responsibility or direction. Minority Leader Bill Knowland, New Hampshire's Styles Bridges, Illinois' Everett Dirksen, Ohio's John Bricker and Colorado's Eugene Millikin virtually ignore the President as a leader of Congress. He makes no effort to punish them for so doing...
