...Sandor Ince, whom the staff called "the headlong Hungarian," had romped through most of the magazine's capital, including $30,000 from Doris Duke.

Last week he broadcast a partly accurate, partly distorted version of Secretary Marshall's views on China, which had been given in confidence to reporters in a Statler hotel room. (A Pearson legman had bragged in advance that he would find out what Marshall said.) To some extent Pearson is thus endangering...
