...Japan's intellectuals have been gripped in a sort of reverse McCarthyism; no Japanese artist, poet, professor or painter dares to be labeled a "rightist." Most a're socialists, and they pride themselves on being "agin' the government." They companionably join Communists in a bewildering array of organizations with names like Youth and Student Struggle Council, Committee for Freedom of Expression, National Conference for Reopening of Japan-China Relations. They provide the intellectual leadership for such huge outfits as Nikkyoso, the 600,000-strong teachers union; Zengakuren, a nationwide student pressure group; and, most important...
...wild alarums of the critics and President Eisenhower's smug claim of last January that he knew more about defense than anybody else, it engendered some long-overdue rethinking of U.S. defense policies.

John O'Hara, Robert Penn Warren, Truman Capote, Isak Dinesen, Irwin Shaw, James Michener...
Through the years Johnson has gathered a formidable array of loyalists around him-such divergent Senators as Georgia's rigidly conservative Dick Russell and Montana's liberal Mike Mansfield are outspoken in their admiration. Says Mansfield: "The Senate is the cockpit, so to speak. From here comes our next President. And who is the leader of the Senate?" Johnson has just two consistent Senate critics-Pennsylvania's Clark and Illinois' Douglas-and one consistent problem child-Oregon's Wayne Morse...
...this vigorous atmosphere came an array of exceptional people-Classicist Gilbert Murray, Singer Nellie Melba, Novelist Henry Handel Richardson, Actress Judith Anderson, Dancer Robert Help-mann, Composer Arthur Benjamin and Actor Cyril Ritchard.
