Piecing together the fragments of a National Airlines DC-6B that crashed last fortnight, killing 34, in North Carolina (TIME, Jan. 18), Civil Aeronautics Board investigators found strong evidence indicating a bomb explosion inside the plane. The wreckage showed that an 8-ft. section near a forward washroom had been blasted outward, as if by an explosion within the plane.

In the Union of South Africa, Asians have long since been virtually eliminated from voting rolls, have been...
...corruption ("Sales are sometimes clinched by a clinch ... in the world of free enterprise"). The New York Journal-American saw the whole thing as grist for Communist propaganda, sent out a girl reporter to interrogate Murrow. The reporter tracked him to the very door of a CBS washroom, but got no information, was reduced to reporting about his red suspenders ("They're cute"). The Journal also came close to daring CBS to sue for libel by suggesting (so far without any supporting evidence) that the show had been a hoax, that actors and actresses had been used...
