...modern times have brought forth the maddened howl of the U.S. legislator as dramatically as has Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Congressmen, almost to a man, regard the Secretary as a cat, and feel an unholy urge to chase him up a tree. Some of the congressional baying he has aroused is rooted deep in partisan politics.
