Doctor Bill. In Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, a witch doctor went to the police station for help in collecting a bill from a client who "asked me to call a lion to kill his enemy. I did. The enemy is dead...
...Nazis before," snarled Henrietta von Schirach, when the New York Herald Tribune's Marguerite Higgins visited the camp last week. "Please tell your General Clay I hope he will not treat me in such a fashion that my children will grow up to hate America." Luise Funk, a witch-eyed redhead, echoed this threat of future hatred: "The things happening now to the German people are a humiliation they will never forget."

The field of free inquiry, then, must by its nature oppose a mentality which presumes to pass on a man's right to an education in accordance with its whims about his "company." Plainly, the danger of the unchallenged witch hunt is that it can quite conceivably begin defining as ineligible Communist soreheads all students it considers in any way "difficult"--from pacifists to students who support a larger allotment, or who simply protest energetically the allocation of Yale game tickets. Possibly the most pathetic figure of this situation would...
