...place-a wrench-shaped "linguistic state" of 21 million Telugu-speaking people carved out of its neighbors in 1953-which the Communists had confidently expected to make their first political base in India. They talked extravagantly of turning Andhra into their "Yenan," a citadel from which they could subvert the rest of India. They already had 46 seats, only seven fewer than the Congress Party, in the state assembly. Andhra is their kind of breeding ground: a place of extreme and uncaring wealth, and of miserable poverty. In Andhra, four in every ten people are tenant farmers and landless agricultural...
...Released last October after five years in a Polish prison, Hermann Field spent a month "convalescing" in Poland, then continued resting in Switzerland. According to him, the Poles had misconstrued his efforts in 1939 to help Czechs fleeing from the Nazis "as part of a British-American plan to subvert the postwar Czech regime."

This involves another ball-gazing session (Mr. Edwards is as ingenious as he is indulgent of authors' whims) and a fair amount of comedy in the second act to gloss over its basic similarity to the first. When, despite everyone's attempts to subvert its ends, Fate proves too wily a customer for mortals, the final curtain rings down on what has been an enjoyable, if not particularly exhilarating, evening. Although the subject is obviously fascinating, it has been handled with skill and craftsmanship rather than real imagination...
Charge Three is an issue because it accuses the Senator of being more than a boor; it shows that he would subvert constitutional guarantees. To manhandle generals and senators is one thing; to manhandle the law is quite another. McCarthy claimed that federal employees are duty bound to give him information, "even though some little bureaucrat has stamped it 'secret' to protect himself." Either he had a right to make such a claim on the prerogatives of the executive, or he didn't. The Watkins Committee should have made this clear one way or the other...
