Back to London one night last week went Prime Minister Winston Churchill, after a surprise visit to the northeast coastal defenses. Again he had proved his tremendous popularity with the English people. With enthusiasm they cheered him as he drove slowly along the coast, solidly British in his pin-striped business suit, his high-crowned black hat.

As a new broom, he expects to do no drastic sweeping. When asked about his politics, he becomes a bit Socratic. "When you are born in Georgia," he inquires, "what are you usually...

With a Rockefeller Foundation grant of $10,000 a year for five years, he returned to Harvard, brought together several of his most brilliant followers, including a winsome, 24-year-old Chinese girl named T'an Pin Pin. One of the first things they did was to arrange with station WRUL, Boston, for daily, half-hour broadcasts in Basic English on short wave for Latin America. These broadcasts (news reports, features, a daily lesson in Basic) have gone on all winter in charge...
