...Communists have a lot to lose by obeying the law. Under the stiff terms of the 1950 Act, the party must list the names and addresses of all officers, members and contributors, label all its propaganda as Communist in origin. Party members cannot hold passports, union offices, or jobs with the Government or defense plants. Relying largely on the argument that such penalties amount to an illegal restriction of free speech and the right of assembly, U.S. Communist leaders fought the law all the way to the Supreme Court. In June, by a 5-4 decision, the court ordered...
...apart. (The third-channel speaker is between them, but Bruce tells us it wasn't in use when we were listening.) The curtain hung about five feet from the wall against which the speakers are placed. Helping the Model Sevens out are a pair of trostatic tweeters (of American origin) which Bruce has suspended from ceiling, about six feet from the floor, and tight against the bamboo. Bruce feels this staggered placement contribute the sense of depth his system imparts. The Humphrey living room is provided with special sockets which allow versatile placement of his Model Sixes and connection...
...second grade the Soviet student doubles his reading vocabulary to 4,000 words. In third grade he hits 8,000 words with a formidable reader of 384 pages. The paper is cheap; the prose is rich.

He started a thesis on the origin of genders, worked two years before he found that a student at Heidelberg had long since done the subject with unimprovable thoroughness. "I mouth the strange syllables of ten forgotten languages, letting my spirits fail, my youth pass," he youthfully wrote. Then a roommate, Australian Bacteriologist Hugh Ward, introduced John Enders to Hans Zinsser, Harvard University's professor of bacteriology and immunology, and one of the great fertilizing...
With broad sarcasm, Pravda Columnist S. Vishnevsky dismissed the budding U.S. atom-bomb shelter program. "If we could only open the eyes of those moles." he wrote recently, "they would surely see that there is no sense in hiding underground. But moles are unseeing creatures and moles of bourgeois origin suffer from class blindness." The sneer was less than convincing, for the writer must have known what most of the U.S. does not: the Soviet Union has been at work for more than a decade on a shelter program of its own, spending an estimated $500 million a year (current...
