...have misquoted me, in a very disquieting way, in your July 4 issue. I did not "moan" at the Berlin Congress for Cultural Freedom: "Western literature is the mirror on the ceiling of the whorehouse." Nor any words to that general effect.

...million project. The project failed to win the support of the necessary 66⅓% of voters in a referendum. He also urged U.S. and British church leaders to make Canterbury Cathedral a Protestant "Vatican" at a cost of $25 million, including hidden lighting that would give the effect of sunrise, sunset and moonlight. The flamboyant Red dean, Dr. Hewlett Johnson, said he "had dreamed of a project like this for 40 years," but the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, called the idea "unacceptable and abhorrent." Another dream, pending since 1958, is the construction of two 100,000-ton economy...
