...blocky bad man of U.S. letters refused to write under wartime censorship. Then, last November, a severe stroke (cerebral hemorrhage) left the 68-year-old gadfly partially paralyzed and stilled his buzzing. But not entirely. Even as he was brought to a halt, his latest book was in the printer's hands. It will remind old readers and explain to many a new one why the cigar-chomping, beer-guzzling Sage of Baltimore has been the most effective irritant in U.S. writing history...
...greatly increased by the lack of any coordination in spending. The Council approves an expenditure, and a committee chairman takes care of it in his own way. For example, the Council's printing this year was handled by numerous companies throughout New England. A large contract with one printer would undoubtedly be cheaper. This coordination calls for either an expansion of the treasurer's duties to something besides signing checks or hiring a student business manager...
...Titoist leanings (TIME, Feb. 14). Nicholas Zachariades, secretary-general of the party, had found it necessary time & again to issue orders against the singing of old party songs about "my dear little Markos."

...four pages, which for years, unrelieved by photos or even headlines, had been padded with boiler plate and fillers. In Vermont, he bought a second-hand linotype machine to set a cleaner column in a fraction of the four hours it had taken the Journal's printer to hand set one. He brightened Page One with newsy photographs and headlines (one big March story: JOHN C. HOLLAND LAID TO REST). In his English car, Editor Sancton made the rounds of his borderline beat, hunting for stories to bolster the time-honored diet of "personals." Soon, paid circulation...
Forty-five years ago, when Gotfred was born in a village close to Kirkenes, that might not have mattered. Russia was a good 40 miles away. But things have changed since then. Gotfred, son of a Marxist day laborer, had traveled far & wide as a sailor, tramp printer and roustabout. In 1931 he went to Moscow. He returned to Norway after that, but during the war, when the mines and homes of Kirkenes were demolished and villagers huddled together in derelict mineshafts, Hoelvold was back in Russia as a Norwegian-language news commentator on the radio. By the time...
