Briskly and unemotionally and with advice of counsel, Witness Field turned back a stream of questions because they "might lead me into areas" where he might incriminate himself. He declined flatly to say whether he was a Communist, whether he knew Browder, whether he knew Budenz. He admitted he had known Lattimore since 1934, had worked with him as a "professional colleague" at the Institute of Pacific Relations. They saw each other at international conferences, he explained-that sort of thing. It had been five or six years, he thought, since he had seen him last. As to whether Lattimore...
...Sulzberger's small (20 by 15 ft.) office (he uses the imposing publisher's office only for conferences) flows a constant stream of blue paper memos, suggestions, questions and advice to all departments. Most of those to the editorial department are necessarily after the fact; usually he does not see news stories and editorials until they are printed. To help keep track of things, he makes frequent notes in the notebook he always carries. Once, at a private dinner, he heard a friend talk about a new film-color process, jotted down a note. When a story...
...country for Easter picnics, saw the Castilian plateau in an almost forgotten dress. Since 1942 central Spain has been brown and barren with drought.

Unless this year's crops in Spain were unusually good or unless help came from outside, there would...
...Sigmund Spaeth had toiled through statistics and produced for the New York Times Magazine a list of the half-century's "most popular" songs. His1 list: Sweet Adeline (1903), School Days (1907), Shine On, Harvest Moon (1908), Let Me Call You Sweetheart (1910), Down by the Old Mill Stream (1910), I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad (1911), St. Louis Blues (1914), Smiles (1917), Stardust (1929), God Bless America...
...firm, not unnaturally, took this as a personal challenge . . . Unfortunately we find that there is no trade agreement which would permit the importation of mantillas from Spain. Over a number of years we have received a constant stream of letters suggesting that we produce a scarf suitable to be worn as a head covering in church, and though we often gave the matter serious consideration, the right idea eluded us. The Vatican has now authorized the publication in Italy of a scarf designed for the Holy Year. This carries a portrait of the Pope and his signature . . . With the approval...
