...Britain's darkest hour after Dunkirk, Winston Churchill called on his countrymen to defend their island home by joining an unpaid citizens' militia, which he christened the Home Guard. Nearly 2,000,000 Britons stepped forward. Armed at first with pitchforks, pikes and shotguns, they guarded Britain's coasts until the fear of invasion passed. When the Home Guard stood down in 1944, it was a tough, well-drilled fighting force, bristling with Tommy guns, dagger bayonets and U.S. .300-cal. rifles...

...Work or Not? Did Boyle make a clean break with his law practice when he moved from an unpaid to a paid job with the committee in 1949? Boyle says that he did, but the details have an odd look. His former law associate, Max Siskind, a sharp, self-possessed Brooklynite, last week told the Senate committee that he has paid Boyle $100,000 in installments at irregular periods over the last two years and owes him $50,000 more. The payments, Siskind said, were part of a settlement he made with Boyle when Boyle left the law office. There...
