...California attorney general's office is considering steps to prosecute Confidential for criminal libel and distribution of lewd material. There was good reason to doubt that the klieg-lit legislators would effectively police bedroom journalism, or indeed should. In fact, by emphasizing the zeal with which the leer-and-smear brigade sifts its dirt, the senate hearings lent some support to the smut-peddlers' argument that scurrility can be justified if it is accurate. Nevertheless, few responsible editors could agree with Publisher Harrison that "the truth never smears anybody." The issue that was largely ignored last week...
Some 1,100 Senators, Congressmen, major and minor office holders and society folk trooped into the annual Mardi Gras thrown by the Louisiana State Society and captained by Louisiana's Senator Russell Long. They little expected the zip and zeal with which ebullient Russ Long enveloped them-particularly since he had invited them to bring their own liquor.

He arrived in Budapest listed officially as third secretary of the Swedish legation, his luggage bulging with information on Hungarian underground agents and secretly pro-Allied officials of the Hungarian government. Operating with enormous zeal and energy, he persuaded Hungarian officials that if a Jew claimed neutral citizenship he should not be deported until the truth of his claim had been established. This done, he promptly affixed to the homes of some 20,000 such Jews signs that read: "Under the Protection of the Swedish Legation." He rented 32 houses in Budapest in the name...
