...Another target was the flood of pornographic literature that has been un controlled in Japan, protected by "free dom of the press." In the town of Kofu at the base of Mount Fuji, bookshop owners voluntarily banned 37 sex magazines from their counters.

By last week Japan's 7,000-member Federation of Book Retailers had joined in the black list, and at least four of the publications were out of business...
Clear air turbulence often occurs where two air masses, moving in opposite directions, grind together.

To blame one man, such as Baldwin, for the unpreparedness of British armaments is illogical and unfair, given the conditions of democratic government...
McGeorge Bundy was only 34 at the time, and the combination of his meteoric rise and his abrasive mannerisms made him a juicy target. Harvard's humor magazine, the Lampoon, found the mark...
