Remembered Suspicion. In the time-honored manner of fictional detectives, Sergeant Walters filed away his suspicions for future reference, finished his hitch in the army, and eventually joined the London police force. Early last summer, he learned that Sergeant Frederick Emmett-Dunne and the widow Watters had been married, seven months after Waiters' death. His suspicions were re-aroused; he took them over to army intelligence...
...Hour (Wed. 10 p.m., E.D.T.), which switched from ABC to CBS and began a new dramatic series with The Meanest Man in the World. It was a farce about a kind young man with a mean old father who demanded that the mortgage be foreclosed on a defenseless old widow and a deserted orphan on Christmas Eve.

From early morning until cocktail time, in fact, the twelve scarcely had a moment's idleness. They took trips to the U.N., attended the experimental theater at nearby Vassar College, spent the evenings reading aloud from Lord Dunsany, Thornton Wilder and Edna St. Vincent Millay. One man's blood pressure dropped 30 points...
Pigs & Rats. As had no other incident, the murder shocked France into a sense of urgency. Premier Faure was roused from bed at 3 a.m. in Paris to hear the news. Next morning he rushed off to see Lemaigre's widow, then summoned Pierre July. Minister for Tunisia and Morocco, for urgent consultation. Emerging from this meeting, July declared bluntly: "Counter-terrorism . . . once again has dishonored France." He sent France's No. 1 cop, Roger Wybot, to investigate the murder and reorganize Casablanca's police force...
