...understandably stung by the election-time warmonger cry, and possibly by the charge that he is too pro-American, did not say that the U.S. should clear out of East Anglia.

"What of it?" Byrd growled. Basketball Coach Clair Bee, now acting president of Long Island University and a particular target of Judge Streit's indictment, defended the "tradition" of subsidization and declared: "I would do it the same way again." Said defiant Clair Bee: the "present mess is one of individuals and not the result of policy...
