...have prompted the writer to an excess of emotional slander aimed at this department. If he had said simply that he was unhappy to see this professor leave--a result of appointment to the faculty of another well-known Eastern college--then we might sympathize with his genuine regret. However, Friday's editorializing mixes fact with an engaging, but uncomplimentary, fiction...
Your abbreviated item on the proposal to the National Lutheran Council for a "fullscale spiritual invasion of the Roman Catholic countries of Latin America" [TIME, Feb. 15] is the result of an unfortunate misquotation which, I regret to admit, originated as a molehill in our own news bureau and has become a mountainous misrepresentation of my report.

Concerning McCarthy, its stand refuses to admit of any honesty...
...Idaho desert has been "cruising" intermittently toward the North Pole.* Having no bow or stern, or water to float in, it has not moved an inch, but the long, rigorous tests of its nuclear power system have been brilliantly successful. Naval designers, tacticians and strategists are aware (some with regret) that a revolution in sea power is sweeping out of Idaho...
