When relentless Tom Dewey announced that lurking behind Davis was the substantial figure of potent Tammany District Leader Jimmy Hines, whom he indicted as the policy racket's real boss (TIME, June 6), he made a real stir in city politics...

Most obvious explanation was that an attempt was being made, through Miss Dare, to blandish Dixie Davis into turning State's evidence against his co-defendant Hines...
...Neurath's associate editors are Professors Rudolph Carnap and Charles W. Morris of the University of Chicago. The introductory pamphlets contain articles by these three and by Denmark's Niels Bohr, England's Bertrand Russell, Columbia University's John Dewey. Scores of other savants will sound off on "Metascience" in the pamphlets and volumes yet to come...
