...introduced a grim word to the cold war vocabulary: "brainwashing." Last week, appearing as a witness before the U.S. Senate's Internal Security Subcommittee, Author (BrainWashing in Red China) Hunter again showed his preoccupation with words, made a sharp point: "We are going to be taken for a ride at the summit if we do not realize that the Communists have a special code language which we must deal with. We've got to specify which dictionary meaning we are using for a whole collection of special words like peace, free world, aggression, and the like-the Communist...
...makes his daily 20-mile trip from home to office in about half an hour (most of his colleagues would rather walk than ride with him), rolls up his shirtsleeves for the day's work. American Motors headquarters is perhaps the most relaxed and informal in Detroit's auto industry. Romney often leaves his modest office (18 ft. by 18 ft.) to drop in on executives down the corridor. When he has anything important to say, he is not above calling them together, sitting down on the back of a chair to give a talk...
...with two 16-in. Buntline Specials strapped to his thighs, he really cuts the mustard with the teen-age cow bunnies. An exmarine, he is easily the most ambitious of television's men on horseback.

At 31 he looks rather like an unweathered Wayne, with a nice, uneventful face and a chest as big as a wardrobe-on producer's orders, he bares it at least once a program. But unfortunately, Clint, according to the people he works with, is "a mighty mixed-up kid." He is a nature...
...great 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch was much obsessed with sin and hell; his best-known paintings are populated by griffons, scarabs and demons in a fantastic landscape in which sinners ride on mice, embrace pigs, are bound, speared and tortured by horrifying monsters. Lustful monks and covetous priests are spied on by lurking demons. Only rarely, as in The Crowning with Thorns in London's National Gallery, did Bosch allow himself to show the tenderness that was the obverse of his savage indignation about the human Bettmann Arc condition...
