...Dean's" nickname is no great exaggeration. An occasional enthusiastic visitor to the U.S.S.R., roguish Dr. Hewlett Johnson, 73, who looks like an 18th Century character in need of a haircut, has long been one of Communism's warmest apologists. He is a member of the London Daily Worker's editorial board. His political ululations have been an increasing embarrassment to the Church...
...Santos Dumont Airport one morning last week, a hearty, smiling man with a grey mane and snapping eyes stepped out of his airplane and into the warmest welcome that a grateful nation could give a favorite son. Bands tooted, crowds cheered, and friends and relatives rushed forward to be crushed in his warm abraco (hug).

It takes a freeze to chase them south. Last week, a few weeks behind schedule, the mallards, redheads and green-winged teal began to go. They spread out over four major routes. The smallest contingent, about 15%, usually heads down the Atlantic flyway bound for Chesapeake Bay and the Carolina swamps, and get shot at by the smallest percentage of hunters (only 14%). About 25% take...
