...Legion tried to suppress another textbook in Nebraska, but with much less success. Joseph Vurardi, chairman of the Legion's Nebraska Un-American Activities Committee, accused "a certain professor" at the University of Nebraska of using "a certain book" in his class. "Students can't swallow that stuff," Vurardi said. The book turned out to be "The State of Asia," a publication of the Institute of Pacific Relations. One of its articles was written by Owen Lattimore. The "indoctrinator" was Dr. E. N. Anderson, professor of history...
...aggression. But there also are inhibitions, for the parent feels guilty and wants to restrain himself." Cataplexy, says Dr. Levin, is a symptom of narcolepsy (involuntary sleep). Cataplexy may occur when a man has an aggressive impulse which, because of guilt, he tries (or feels he should try) to suppress. Or he may actually fall asleep. Dr. Levin cites the example of the soldier who almost falls asleep when under enemy fire for the first time-"a moment when one would expect him to break all records for alertness...
...forgive his error; perhaps the black mark against him was erased by the smooth and effective way in which he (with Rudolf Slansky's help) engineered the Communist coup of 1948 against worn-out Eduard Benes and disillusioned Jan Masaryk.

But Moscow has not been 100% happy, for Czechoslovakia, a highly industrialized and once prosperous nation, has been in deepening economic crises for the past five years...
...inquisitorial committees and then appear like sheep for the slaughter? Or may they invoke the historic means of protest against aggression wherever it is found? I see nothing dishonorable in the assertion of the constitutional privilege any more than in reliance on the Fourth Amendment right to suppress evidence unlawfully seized or the Sixth Amendment right to counsel and a jury trial. Were the Puritans dishonorable in refusing to testify against themselves? Could we have censured Professor Lattimores if gifted with foresight, he had assorted the privilege instead of volunteering an opinion for which he was indicted? We have...
...judge it on its own merits, the Legion stand appeared highhanded. Editorialized the New York Herald Tribune: ". . . The Legion has made the cardinal error of attacking the art in place of the artist . . . To make rude remarks about movies you do not like is an American privilege. But to suppress them ... is not such a privilege, and it is not good sense . . . Charles Chaplin's political activities, if any, can be dealt with at the proper place and time, but to drag his movie into the indictment is oppressive and ill-advised...
