...returning veteran of 1945 was a man of hope; his enemy was beaten, his target-Tokyo or Berlin-was reached. He was ready for a brave new world of peace and plenty. His younger brothers, resigned to the ugly old world of war and greed, shout no message. They argue about whether the war should have been started, whether it should have been carried into China or stopped at the 38th parallel, whether Van Fleet or MacArthur or the White House had the right solution-and they don't pretend to know all the answers. All that binds them...
...leading target of the McCarthy report was Great Britain, whose flag was flown by 100 of the 162 ships cited for 1953. The British, said the report, have done nothing to crack down on Hong Kong shipping firms, which operate 68 vessels as fronts for their actual owners, the Chinese Communists.

He jabs so fast, moves so nimbly, that he seldom presents his numerous opponents with a solid target for counterblows. But last week, at the pre-trial examination in a $1,500,000 libel suit brought against him by the New York Post and its editor, James A. Wechsler, Winchell's footwork was not quite fancy enough. Witness Winchell, who has broadly implied that the Post and its editor are proCommunist, was drawn...
...individual teacher and learner. He has set up broad special study programs in the humanities, American civilization and the creative arts. He has set up full-fledged departments of music and religion, has constantly reminded his campus to "look to religion for the truths that will not perish." The target Dodds has set for himself: not novelty, but depth...
