...President's paragraphs on the struggle with world Communism achieve a tone of firmness without a trace of bellicosity. Its domestic program is determinedly progressive without a trace of demagoguery. Only the far left and far right found it easy to fault the message.

Though no Michigan official had ever heard of the service or could find any trace of its existence, Nickell decided to investigate the letter's charges that Henry had once appointed an ex-Communist to the Wayne faculty and that two other teachers were suspended last year for refusing to answer questions before a congressional committee. Nickell also wanted to know why in 1947 Henry had been so slow to ban the campus chapter of American Youth for Democracy...
