The author condemns wartime crusading journalists who later made flawed judgments about Vietnam under Diem, Cuba under Batista and Castro, and Chiang Kai-shek, arguing such reformist crusades harmed U S interests and misdirected public view of the war in Vietnam.

Professor at Large Funeral of George Braque Stirs Thoughts
NEW YORK. CHARLES K. PARKER reflects on fame and national memory sparked by the Paris tribute to Georges Braque. He contrasts European reverence for individual achievement with American focus on wealth and celebrity, noting Kefauver and DuBois as examples of divergent press treatment. He recalls Malraux’s eulogy and laments America’s youth worship while ignoring distinct contributors.
