...these men (like Chester Bowles and John Kenneth Galbraith) helped to draft the Democratic platform, and occasionally the eloquence of their unhappiness gives the lie to the visions of mindless utopia cast by the rest of it. "We have drifted into a national mood that accepts payola and quiz scandals, tax evasion and false expense accounts. . . exploitation of sadistic violence as public entertainment," they tell us. The presence of these words in the platform implies that President Eisenhower's administration has been responsible for all these, just as Frank Church suggested in his keynote address that the Republicans had been...

Hitler sank his head in his hands. "Armes Kind!"1 (poor child), he sighed. What did Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, do? He dispatched a destroyer to try to break...

But in happier days, when he was earning as much as $200,000 a year and had sold his shows to NBC for $1,000,000, he invested $50,000 in a small Manhattan chemical firm, the Fragrance Process Co.
