Home Missions. Many a key Episcopal bishop and layman opposed the program at first, but most who have heard a sample transcript are now enthusiastic. Other Episcopalians will make up their minds during the first 13 weeks of the series, for which the money is on hand. If the show is to be continued, an extra 3% will be asked in the Every-Member-Canvass pledges for 1949. The program will cost about $15,000 a week, over $11,000 of it for radio time at regular commercial rates. Musicians, technicians and minor actors will receive regular rates; the stars...
Dapper, pudgy Committee Chairman J. Parnell Thomas was the Government's star witness. After he had given a dramatic reading of the transcript of Lawson's testimony before the committee, he was cross-examined. His aggressive, cocksure manner gone, he hedged and fidgeted as he was asked if he had been active as the committee's chairman.

...lead the Crimson into inconsistencies, the latter certainly did, and for such meandering the editors were occasionally taken to task by older, wiser, and more static journals.

Three wars, and the aftermath of one of them, are presented in highlight below...
...Evidence. Step by step, the committee had weighed the evidence. First of all, Horn's transcript was suspiciously complete to have been copied from diaries he had described as "moth-eaten" and partly illegible. The papers used phrases unknown in the 18th Century ("frontire spirit," "race hatred"). Horn's ancestors showed themselves ignorant of the Julian calendar, which was universally used in their day. Horn's maps and court dockets bore a 19th Century watermark and were written with a metal pen and in blue-black ink, unknown until 1836. The documents had been "aged," said...
