...from the Government, and exactly what type of risk they were. A detailed breakdown is vital, for only once in the past has there been an effort to distinguish between so-called "security risks" and actual subversives. Communists, criminals, perverts, and alcoholics--as well as people accused only by rumor--have all been lumped under the heading "security risk." The only past breakdown, pressured through a few weeks ago by the House Appropriations Committee, showed that very few of the "security risks" were actual Communists or subversives...
...Auburn St. stands Claverly Hall. It is a visible reminder that the issue of subdividing Harvard is far from entirely settled. Before money can be raised to build additional units, the President and administration have got to come out openly in favor of at least one more House. Rumor is that Pusey is now moving in such a direction. A fine site and possible location for one unit is the land now used by the Hygiene Building. Another might be the land beneath Claverly...
When Committee Counsel Roy Cohn insisted that there was secret evidence, which he could not produce, that Mrs. Moss was a Communist, Arkansas Democratic Senator John L. McClellan bitterly decried "convicting people by rumor and hearsay and innuendo."

Cohn blandly promised to "check" the discrepancy...
...dismay over Washington. Joe, the stoker, was still disorganized but quick-witted, charging in and out of his Senate office, snatching up telephones, rushing to the Senate floor to answer quorum calls, dictating statements to reporters. As he dashed about, his office staff lost track, believed a rumor that he had emplaned for New York. Then Joe stomped in from the corridor, stuffed a briefcase, said "Come on" to a waiting reporter and hurried out. Behind them came a job seeker from Wisconsin, carrying the briefcase...
Last week the Air Force released pictures of its fighter, but gave no performance data. But the F-102 has been her alded as the next step in fast, high-altitude interceptors. Airwise rumor is that it is genuinely supersonic, i.e., flies above the speed of sound in level flight. It is packed with educated electronics. In combat, the airplane will probably do most of its own thinking, the pilot sitting passively while radars and other gadgets locate their prey, aim and fire the guns or other armament. Then he will return the spent airplane to its base...
