...secondary teacher, I take umbrage at Mr. Griswold's swipe at me and my fellows. He regards us as weak links in the educational chain, and wishes to teach us our subject matter. Humph! . . . We don't teach a few hours a week. We are in there every day all day long. Our nights are spent in preparing our classes and correcting papers (a practice that could be followed by most professors I know...
Within a few hours, twelve men and four women were arrested in New York and one man in Pittsburgh. They and four others-missed in the first day's roundup -were indicted under the Smith Act by a New York federal grand jury, on charges of conspiring to teach and advocate violent overthrow of the U.S. Government. They were the second echelon of the party's high command. Presumably they would take up the U.S. party reins when the eleven Communist bosses (convicted of similar charges in 1949) are sent off to prison. Among them were familiar figures...
...Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York Post, muttered darkly about endangered freedoms, berated the U.S. Supreme Court for its opinion (TIME, June 11) affirming the conviction of the top Communist leaders.

We cannot, of course, control the acts of aggressors. Let us make sure that history keeps the blame on them for acts which would turn a limited war into...
Harvard's husky ANDRÉ MORIZE, 66, dean of French literature professors in the U.S. In 1917, scholarly André Morize (he published the first critical edition of Candide) arrived at Harvard as a dashing French lieutenant assigned to teach trench warfare to ROTC students, stayed on to make a career of teaching literature. With time out only to serve as a director in France's commissariat of information early in World War II ("You're pure," said Commissioner Jean Giraudoux, who appointed him. "You don't know anybody"), "Le Beau André" has remained...
