...Hungry Children." Painting their picture of American depravity, degeneration and despair, Soviet journalists used the propagandist's familiar technique of the half-truth and the fact wrested out of context. One recent article cited the high cost of U.S. medical care, but made no mention of compensating health insurance programs. The author also deplored the high tuition at Harvard, said nothing about tuition-free state and municipal schools, left the impression that only the children of the rich can go to college...
...Pravda this month gleefully printed an Associated Press picture (see. cut) of the tattered family and the shack of a striking Kentucky coal miner to il-lustrate its claim that millions of children in capitalist countries suffer from poverty. From such isolated instances, it is no trick for the Soviet press to jump to the sweeping generalization and, if necessary, to the outright lie ("While hungry American children look for a slice of stale bread, the stores are crammed with food which is left...

...feel it only highly irrelevant that he may not have secured clearance by the FBI." ¶The University of California's Berkeley Chancellor Glenn T. Seaborg (1951 prize -synthesis of new elements): "I am concerned about the virtual absence of easy, direct communication with scientists of the Soviet Union . . . Poland, Czechoslovakia and China. If we do not get a proper perspective on the development of science in countries such as China, we shall not be able to act rationally, and will surely suffer a rude awakening in the not too distant future." ¶Bell Labs' Walter H.
