...immediate purposes of France and of most Frenchmen in France, that fact makes nonsense of all the questions about De Gaulle. Is he a democrat? A Fascist? A megalomania with an appetite for personal power, whatever the label? A natural born, latter-day First Consul-a Fourth Napoleon? Tough old Rightist Republicans like Louis Marin, newly arrived in London after a close call with the Gestapo, throw back their heads and roar when apprehensive Britons ask if France is ready to accept dictatorship (meaning De Gaulle's) after four years of Nazi rule...
...expressed doubts as to whether certain territories of Yugoslavia could be called "liberated" in the strictest sense of the word. Well, I entered Partisan territory ten miles behind the fighting line, traveled 25 miles in an automobile, saw a Partisan train, and visited the last session of the Anti-Fascist Youth Congress. Now three barefoot urchins are arranging a bouquet of cherry blossoms by a pool under a huge walnut tree. This is liberated enough...
Serge Koussevitzky, famed Russian-born conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, received a touching "Bravo!" Wrote his 80-year-old sister Anyuta, from Russia: "Brother Serezha!

But there was nothing as startling this year as Alida Conover's picture of a cow on fire a dozen years...
Izvestia cannot be the vehicle for "unofficial" attacks on foreigners such as Zaslavsky's, or for such items as the Cairo "separate peace" rumor that recently perturbed the Allied world (TIME, Jan. 31). When Izvestia called the Vatican "pro-Fascist" (TIME, Feb. 14), it presumably spoke with the full weight of the Government. This is one of the few clues by which confused foreigners seeking to read the Stalin mind can decide what is "official" and what "unofficial" in the Soviet press. In general, U.S. correspondents say, Soviet editors are now free to report routine domestic news without consulting...
