...leadership in the Republicans' postwar policy in foreign affairs, Van's so-called "unpartisanship." But Taft had misgivings, which Vandenberg also began to entertain before the end of his career. When the Michigan Senator died of cancer in 1951, Taft began to express himself with vigor on foreign affairs, attacking what he saw as defects and ambiguities in the NATO pact, challenging both the President's right and wisdom in committing large numbers of U.S. troops to Europe, fixing the blame for the Korean attack on the Administration's weak and vacillating policy...
Patches for Pants. Austrian-born Oskar Kokoschka, whom Hitler once called the most degenerate of all European artists, follows no set school, and he is at war with all who do.

This massive blooper sent the circulation of all the Kiplinger publications plummeting. With characteristic candor, Kip admitted that "I made the mistake." With equally characteristic vigor (staffers estimate that he works as much as 70 or 80 hours a week), Kip set out to repair the damage. Today a new, ten-story office building in Washington houses the Kiplinger publications and a staff of 315. Changing Times has climbed to an estimated circulation...
