Absinthe in a Daiquiri. For 2½ days a fascinated jury listened before a finally exhausted Dr. Binger was allowed to step down. But Defense Attorney Claude B. Cross immediately wheeled up reinforcements: Dr. Henry Alexander Murray. Like both Dr. Binger and Alger Hiss, Dr. Murray was a graduate of Harvard. He had also studied under Dr. Jung. He testified that he had had lots of opportunity to observe psychopathic personalities at Harvard University, where he was director of the Harvard Psychological Clinic. He backed up his colleague, Binger. Chambers, he said, was a psychopathic personality...
Double Whammy? To figure out the next step, everybody at the meeting fluttered yellow booklets called Provisional Rules of Procedure of the Security Council.

Brannan said he had "no alternative." By thus permitting prices to drop, he hoped to step up egg-eating. This week the department began to support eggs at a new level of 37? a dozen v. the 45? average last year. It looked as though even the Department of Agriculture was finally being forced to try a freer market to ease the enormous farm surpluses...
