When the Democratic National Committee put out the first issue of its Democratic Digest last week (TIME, July 13), Editor Clayton Fritchey explained that one of its main objectives was to help "redress the imbalance of ... the one-party editorial pages" in the U.S. press. No sooner had the first issue hit the stands than the Christian Science Monitor's Washington Bureau Chief Roscoe Drummond made a revealing discovery. Wrote Correspondent Drummond: "What one-party press is Fritchey talking about? More than half the cartoons [criticizing the Administration] and the clear majority of the editorial quotations . . . are from Republican...

But they will hear his sonorous voice descend to a whisper and rise to a shout as he reads stories from the Bible and Guy de Maupassant, from James Thurber and Dickens and Thomas Wolfe...
...training that turns a shave-headed boot into a dedicated fighting man whose faith is in his rifle and whose religion is his corps. And it is nourished by the legendary heroes of the Marines' past: Commandant William Ward Burrows, who in 1800 ordered one Marine shavetail to redress an insult from a naval officer with his pistol; Brigadier General (now Congressman) James P. S. Devereux, the defender of Wake Island; General Thomas Holcomb, the father of the modern corps. The battle cry of a leathery Marine sergeant in World War I ("Come on, you sons of bitches...
