...Starting from Shackleton Base on the Weddell Sea, south of South America, on Nov. 24, it headed for South Ice, an advance base 250 miles inland that was established by Fuchs during the Antarctic spring (Oct.-Nov.). This is fearfully difficult country, with two high, parallel mountain ranges, the Theron Range and the Shackleton Range, looming blackly above the snow. The ice between them is torn into great crevasses. Sometimes vertical ice cliffs rise like stone walls, and level plains turn out to be bogs of deep, soft snow...
...investigation of the tax-collecting BIR led inevitably to a probe of the tax-prosecuting U.S. Justice Department. On every television screen was the smiling face of Assistant Attorney General (in charge of tax prosecution) Theron Lamar Caudle, whose barefoot wit kept investigators in convulsions as he blandly described rascality (including his own) in government.

The most spectacular witness was a drawling, small-town lawyer named Theron Lamar Caudle (TIME, Nov. 26, 1951 et seq.). But more often than not the committee's trail led toward the man who had brought Caudle from Wadesboro, N.C. to Washington: onetime Attorney General Thomas Campbell Clark, since 1949 Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. When Justice Clark was asked to testify, he declined with dignity...
