...Indiscreet (Grandon; Warner), in the Broadway version (Kind Sir), was the sort of romantic comedy that is all dressed up but obviously has no place to go-but then, Broadway scarcely has the resources that are required to gild this sort of lulu.

Anderson, vice chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy: "Mr. Oppenheimer was indiscreet in many of the things he said, but you have to take genius the way it exists." Some scientists backed up the politicians. Said Columbia University's Nobel Prizewinning Physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi, chairman of President Eisenhower's Science Advisory Committee: reinstatement of Oppenheimer would be "a source of encouragement...
...weeks before Galindez vanished, was made a copilot in spite of defective eyesight, which had barred him from U.S. military or commercial flying. Cocky and buoyant, he settled in Ciudad Trujillo, flew in and around the Dominican Republic for ten months. And one of the flights, he boasted in indiscreet moments last summer and fall, had been a hush-hush special job. His plane, he said, had taken Scholar Galindez, disguised as a "cancer patient," from the U.S. to the Dominican Republic...
