...Gieseking never has been active in politics or political events. Of my knowledge I can say that although a citizen of Germany, born in France, he has been singularly free of any Nazi taint.

Other Vichyites who, with turned coats, had fled to Africa after the Allied landings, were also on the Committee's black list...
Last week the righteous were learning that their newborn revolution bore no prenatal taint of promiscuity, nor was it cursed by any desire to upset political tradition. It was a healthy little revolution; there was no need to tag it "liberal." If there had been fears in some quarters, obviously they were unfounded. All signs were reassuring to the righteous.
