...Senator Joseph McCarthy, the diplomatic corps was infested with Communists who should be hounded out of public life; to John F. Kennedy, the Department of State was a "bowl of jelly." To the American public and to Congress, State has often been an object of scorn, the refuge of striped-pants snobs devoted to balancing teacups. Last week the department looked at itself and concurred with many of the less shrill opinions of its longtime critics. It was a self-examination as candid as has ever emerged from the federal bureaucracy...
Rear Admiral Herman J. Kossler, commandant of the Sixth Naval District headquartered in Charleston, has ordered Seabee units, whose training often consists of building bridges and docks only to knock them down again, to undertake permanent projects. In line with Z-grams, he had them build a shed so that men with motorcycles could park their vehicles, construct a marina, outfit an automobile hobby shop and panel the walls of living quarters...
...determined is Israel to nail down assurances of U.S. support before entering peace negotiations with the Arabs that Washington often grows downright uneasy. As Premier Golda Meir told a Labor Party rally in Tel Aviv last week, U.S. Ambassador Walworth Barbour recently said to her: "Look here, Mrs. Meir, we've established that Israel is not a satellite of the U.S. Now I think we ought to make it clear that the U.S. is not a satellite of Israel."

Still, it is humor that freshens the stale feast of Christmas messages. The wit, alas, is often insipid self-parody−I BRING YOU GREETINGS . . . THAT'S ALL, JUST GREETINGS. But when they are good, the funny cards exemplify the peculiarly American gift for one-line gags. "LEON! LEON!" sings a caroler, who hurriedly explains, "I MEAN NOEL! NOEL! (Sorry, my music was backwards)." A card...
...Bill Cunningham, one of the leaders of the CTOC, hasrefused since May to pay the $25 rent increase that his landlord demanded. After three attempts his landlord has finally succeeded in evicting him, but it took twenty police armed with clubs to do so. The tall, gaunt Cunningham, who often has his children distributing CTOC handouts, appeared at the hearing Wednesday night just after his eviction. The CTOC came into the hearing bearing signs "roll back rents," "no eviction," and chanting. Cronin, in a calm but clear voice, said, "I'm sorry but this is a hearing and it will...
