Time-Defying Leap. Next, the fragments are sorted according to script and (if possible) scribe. The mutations of Hebrew and Aramaic letters are classifiable by date-this science of paleography is, in fact, the most exact way of dating the scrolls. Each scribe, too, had his own characteristic handwriting ("ductus"), and a shred of personality makes a time-defying leap across the centuries when a scroll scholar recognizes the mannerisms of an Essene scribe who worked at a long table not unlike his own, 20 miles away and 2,000 years ago. In addition to matching up the script...
Black Market in Scrolls? The study of the fragments has had a stunning impact upon both Jewish and Christian Biblical scholarship. Not only do they provide a wealth of script samples from different eras to advance the science of paleography by a giant step; they provide a far earlier authority for the text of the Old Testament than had been available. The Old Testament is based on the so-called Masoretic text (from masora, tradition) developed in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries A.D. by the schools of Babylonia and Palestine. Older than the Masoretic Bible is the Septuagint...

Indeed the propaganda's very painlessness makes it insidious, giving strength to the allegation of Communist influence amidst the script writers...
...Alcoa Hour about a year ago. Producer Herbert Brodkin bought it, but NBC refused to put it on the air. NBC's candid explanation, as given last week by a spokesman: "In making it appear that sponsors or advertising agencies have any influence on network news shows, the script was simply untrue." The rights to the play then reverted to Secondari. When Producer Brodkin moved over to CBS's Studio One, he bought The Commentator again, paying the "top price," according to the author. Producer Brodkin then cited the script in a newspaper interview to "debunk" the notion...
...Colonel Blimp as the Japanese raced through the supposedly impassable jungles of Malaya in 1941. "It's against the rules of war!" The U.S. Army, which recently made a similar protest to the makers of this movie, now seems to have been guilty of a similar Blimpertinence. The script was condemned, and all Army assistance denied to its producers, because several scenes contained "incidents against regulations''-notably incidents in which a renegade sergeant disputes (though he does not disobey) the authority of a lieutenant. But if Men in War does not always conform to the prim letter...
