Britain's staid, state-chartered, non-commercial BBC got snubbed by a colonial cousin last week. The Union of South Africa, leaning toward the U.S. rather than the British pattern, announced that it would experiment with radio advertising. Now dividing its air time between non-commercial "A" and "B" programs-one in English, the other in Afrikaans-the dominion will build new transmitters in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth for a new "C" network open to advertisers. The network hopes to combine BBC's well-tailored decorum with American money-making methods, will carefully consider...
Gridiron merrymaking follows a peculiarly American pattern. Nowhere else could so many watch the faces of a President, his Cabinet and Supreme Court Justices taking lampoonery aimed right between their eyes. In one satiric skit, Gridironers ribbed U.S. foreign policy aboard "The Acheson, the Clayton & the James F. Byrnes." In another, "General MacArthur" sang...

In The Pattern of Soviet Power, published in July, he argued for Big Three pressure to squeeze China's two factions into one, mostly by putting the squeeze on Chiang...
After experiments in St. Louis, a pilot station was set up at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in 1944. A battery of three seismographs was arranged in a three-cornered pattern. These indicators measured the strength and nearness of the tremors set up by several full-fledged hurricanes which roared past Cuba that season. Results were good. This year the Navy established two more stations, one in Florida, one in Puerto Rico, to keep a triangulated finger squarely on storms in the Caribbean hurricane belt...
That morning Pat Hurley read of an attack in Congress on his China mission and himself by Representative Hugh De Lacy of Washington, a leftish Democrat. It followed the pattern of many previous attacks: Hurley had been more interested in giving supplies to Chiang to fight the Communists than he was in bringing Chiang and the Communists to unity; he had committed the U.S. to armed intervention. De Lacy's conclusion: the U.S. should express regret to China that she was a house divided and withdraw its forces...
