...hooks in McCarthy's questions. Using all of his formidable tricks of crossexamination, the Senator was trying to confuse the Secretary into a key admission: he wanted Stevens to say that McCarthy & Co. had never "threatened" the Army in an effort to get special treatment for G. David Schine, the drafted McCarthy consultant...
...unfortunate that Mr. Crick's two-paragraph criticism of the CRIMSON's feature on Schine should have to be answered by a four-paragraph concoction of evasive answers and actual misinterpretation of Mr. Crick's intent.

I assume Mr. Crick would have no objections to the latter, but does he seriously maintain that it is permissible to run a favorable but not an unfavorable article? Such a policy would...
