Dean Blanding is a tall, gaunt, plain-drawling person who has come a long way from the small farm she was born on near Lexington, Ky. In her early teens, she got $10 a month for yanking on the bell ropes of the local Episcopal church. She often rode with her uncle, a horse-&-buggy doctor, as he made his rounds, and her earliest ambition was to be a doctor herself. But she settled to a more modest ambition when her father died while she was in high school; she borrowed money and enrolled at the New Haven, Conn. Normal...
Applause. Energetic Wilson Wyatt, 40, had drawn his blueprint in five fast weeks. He had come to Washington virtually a stranger-a corporation lawyer whose only experience in public life had been gained as mayor of his home town, Louisville, Ky.

Smoke and burned fragments of cardboard and paper were puffing hotly from the tunnel mouth...
...boarded, dirty-windowed courtroom in London's Grosvenor Square, before a U.S. Army general court-martial, the ugly story began to unfold. The first defendant was slight, mild-looking Sergeant Judson H. Smith, a guard at the camp, who got an 8th-grade education in bloody Harlan County, Ky. In the words of Colonel James A. Kilian, camp commandant, Smith was "one of the best non-commissioned officers I've ever seen." In four perspiring hours on the stand, Smith denied all charges of mistreating prisoners. Outside the court, the disarmingly forthright Kilian supported these denials...
