In the face of the united Administration front, congressional budget-cutting mail was slacking off, and letters supporting the President were beginning to pile...

The skillfully fleshed-out version of the story, first revealed by TIME and LIFE, made an impressive documentary-in-sound-so impressive, in fact, that CBS rushed to rebroadcast this week the suspenseful full-hour reconstruction of how Columbia Lecturer Jesús de Galíndez, a Basque, was kidnaped from Manhattan, spirited out of the country and apparently murdered because of his opposition to Dominican Republic Dictator Rafael...
