...Wieland case provides an excellent opportunity to set a new precedent. President Kennedy has already spoken out for Wieland and Miller. Were Dean Rusk to make a vigorous statement in defense of the two men claiming complete responsibility for their actions and requesting Congressmen to refer any criticisms to him personally, their careers could still be saved. The Secretary, if he responded with equal firmness to any future cases of this sort, would soon end the "witch-hunt" for security risks. Secretary of Defense MacNamara's recent defense of his censors show how effective a strong stand in support...

When they get up enough courage in their cups, some pressagents refer to her simply as "the old broad"-after glancing nervously around to see that only friends are present. The object of this catalogue of clouts, usually more affectionate than they seem, prefers to describe herself as "the gay illiterate," a tag she swiped from a magazine story and magnified into an autobiography in 1944. This week Louella Oettinger Parsons adds another hard-cover installment, Tell It to Louella (Putnam...
