Deploring the rampages of "Hollywood Indians," singing commercials in the midst of news programs, the shallow, five-minute news spots that leave no room for the "why," the networks' fear of the controversial, Murrow went on: "One of the basic troubles with radio and television news is that both instruments have grown up as an incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news. Each of the three is a rather bizarre and demanding profession. And when you get all three under one roof, the dust never settles. [We must] get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television...
...Catholic teachers, priests and philosophers whose speculations might carry them away from the dogmas of -the church and the formal system of thought laid down by St. Thomas Aquinas. ¶ NATIONALISM. Pope Pius laid claim once more to the church's status as the supranational community, nourishing the shallow roots of secular internationalism ("The Church is a mother - Sancta Mater Ecclesia-a true mother, mother of all nations and all peoples").

Prowling through the hill country of southern India, Cameraman Harry Gillan has brought back some startling footage on a real cool...
Strewn Shore. Liaolo Beach, where the convoys come when they can, was pockmarked with shell holes. At one end a battered LSM, its back broken by Communist artillery, lay dead in the shallow water. With bluffs above eroded by wind and shellfire, the area looked like a valley of the moon. You feel appallingly naked as you drive along this lonely shore-watched by the tense eyes of Nationalist soldiers dug into their caves and by Communist eyes, natural and radar, on the mainland only a few miles away. There is no cover here...
