...Part of All." Acheson himself was well aware of his plight. In his policy of "total diplomacy," he would need support both in Congress and in the nation. Soon he will have to urge Congress to admit more imports from abroad, a program which may stir the wrath of many a special interest. A man who constantly talks about the people but feels himself remote from them, he recently confided to friends his fear that the average citizen was not willing to support the sacrifices he thought were required. "All affairs are a part of all people," Acheson told...
Clement Attlee's new cabinet was scarcely 24 hours old before one of its members was under heavy attack from Lord Beaverbrook's London Evening Standard and his morning Daily Express. The object of Beaverbrook's wrath was bright, balding John Strachey, 48, whom Attlee had just promoted from Minister of Food to Secretary of State for War.

Jealous Gods. Italian-born Author Ruesch, who was a world-traveling racing-car driver until a crackup made a writer out of him, saves his sympathy for the Eskimos and his wrath for missionaries who, with "tea and keks," are trying to change the Eskimos' manners & morals. Readers who gobble up Author Ruesch's enticing fictional blubber-ball may never suspect that it is dialectical bear bait until the later pages, where an aged anga-kok (medicine man) sums up his people's primitive philosophy, and makes it sound as up-to-date as a modern university...
