Early in his public feud with the Army last month, Joe McCarthy triumphantly charged that the Signal Corps had a Communist named Annie Lee Moss encoding and decoding "top-secret" messages in its Pentagon headquarters. Proof? He had the sworn testimony of a woman FBI agent...
...usual, there were some pertinent facts that McCarthy did not mention: 1) Mrs. Moss, a 49-year-old Negro widow, had appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in closed session and under oath denied that she had ever been a member of the Communist Party, or had ever engaged in espionage; 2) she did not encode or decode anything, had no access to the Pentagon code room, and handled top-secret messages only in the form of scrambled and unreadable Teletype tape; 3) the FBI agent, while identifying her by name and address, had admittedly never seen...
...Taruffi's No. 38 was well out in front, nine full laps (46 miles) ahead of the next car. In second place, but hopelessly behind, was Briggs Cunningham's third entry, a little (1.452 cc.) Italian Osca alternately driven during the day by Britain's Stirling Moss and Connecticut's Bill Lloyd. But with only an hour to go, Taruffi's Lancia ground to a halt. In the Cunningham pits, where the Osca driver could see it when he flashed by, they held up a sign: "NO. 38 SICK." And No. 38 was sick. There...

Inside are three fine statues-of Christ, Alfonso VII and Alfonso VIII-taken from the original monastery in Sacramenia. Moss and Edgemon hope that enough tourists will pay admissions (probably $1.85 a head) to return them their investment and a long-term profit. Just to make sure, they have also added a few nonmonastic touches: a wishing well in the courtyard, piped music broadcast from a loudspeaker concealed...
Last week, thanks to the enterprise of two bustling Ohio businessmen, the monastery was finally put together on U.S. soil. In North Miami Beach, Fla., workmen fitted the last of the 35,000 stones in place, and the two businessmen, E. Raymond Moss and William S. Edgemon of Cincinnati, got ready to open the monastery to sightseers. Moss and Edgemon had bought the stones at a bargain after Hearst's death in 1951, and packed them off to Florida. In the summer of 1952, a small army of architects, masons and other workmen started the laborious job of unpacking...
