...sketches of favorite Post whipping boys, e.g., Senator McCarthy, Walter Winchell, Westbrook Pegler. When U.S.A. Confidential began making headlines and the bestseller lists, Wechsler spotted ideal subjects for his next serial scorcher: the book's authors, the New York Mirror's editor, Jack Lait, and its nightclub columnist, Lee Mortimer, who are already defendants in twelve libel suits for their offhand reporting (TIME...
...Eliot '10 will soon again grace the Cambridge scene, columnist Leonard Lyons reported in a syndicated article Tuesday afternoon. Lyons gave no indication of whether Eliot would deliver any address in Cambridge or when he would arrive here. His item merely stated that the poet and essayist was in this country and would be present at "his Harvard reunion."

Attempts to reach either Lyons or Eliot to determine the poet's itinerary were unsuccessful...

In mid-1951, he carefully trimmed a 1945 news photo of four Allied generals toasting the Allied victory in Europe, at which time Russia's Marshal Georgy K. Zhukov presented Eisenhower and Britain's Field Marshal Montgomery with Russian victory medals. The Williams version left Ike and Zhukov alone in what was intended to look like a suspiciously friendly pose (see cut). Williams printed and is still circulating the picture with the caption...
