However hale & hearty Stalin may have looked last week, he is not in good shape. On Dec. 31, the Generalissimo, Premier and Dictator of the Soviet Union will be 66. He has a liver complaint. Like his late friend Mr. Roosevelt, he suffers from recurrent colds. At least one responsible U.S. official who saw much of him at Potsdam got the impression that Stalin's heart was shaky...
Tabloid readers sighed with disappointment : they had been hoping to hear, in all its details and in several different versions, the story of what happened that June night in sedate New Canaan. Others, notably the family of Seaman Kovacs, had a more serious complaint. Imogene had said she fired in self-defense when Kovacs started to beat her.

The complaint (couched in 7,000 words of dialectic diatribe): Browder, by dissolving the U.S. Communist Party and setting up the Communist Political Association, had led his followers into heresy. He had suggested that socialism and capitalism can get along together. From the day of the Duclos barrage a bitter storm raged around Kansas-born Earl Browder's hapless head...
