People sometimes wonder why a publisher would want to be located in a city like Boston, notorious for its well-publicized censorship and stuffy morality. One editor summed up his answer by saying that in Boston he can take a long and objective view of the manuscript before him. "Away from the insularity of New York," he said, "the proximity to Madison Avenue's advertising agencies, and the 'faddishness' of the Big City, I can examine more carefully the ideas of an author. I can shut out the irrelavant and concentrate on what I am reading."Typical of an editor...
Profound Naiveté. Australians could only wonder what Evatt thought he was doing. It had been possible for Evatt to claim with some justice that the Petrov case had been unfairly used to defeat his chance of becoming Prime Minister; it was also a fact that the Petrov disclosures had led to no arrests. But to suggest that the word of Moscow should be solicited, let alone be taken seriously, displayed at the least a queer and profound naiveté on the part of a longtime high minister who aspired to govern Australia.

Long before President Eisenhower's attack, heart disease became a major American worry. Other diseases were being triumphantly conquered with wonder drugs and new surgical techniques, but one result of keeping people alive longer, it seemed, was to make all the surer that they would eventually have heart attacks.

Perhaps all can be explained in that the Government Department, although late in arriving on the scene, is waging...
...staffed." Located in the heart of Canada's most loyal citadel of British ways and manners, the hotel greets its well-mannered guests with a massive display of paneled walls, beamed ceilings and straight-backed chairs, serves them tea to the discreet accompaniment of a string ensemble. Small wonder, therefore, that an undersized, untweedy man wearing blue jeans, a grey fedora and a blue polka-dot handkerchief over the lower part of his face, was emphatically snubbed when he started to hold up the hotel's coffeeshop at pistolpoint last week...
