Description: Excerpts
Larry Kirk was having trouble with his lead. For the first time in years the ace television commentator faced his typewriter with a mind empty as a cave whence even the bats have fled.'' .....

''...Ten minutes ago he had used the oldest of his self-starters...the summary, the reduction of an unanswered question to its essence.'' ...

''He read that summary over now...'' ''It made a neat block of type in the center of an empty page:

''Tomorrow, in San Franciso's Presidio, Captain Paul Scott of the Army medical Corps, fresh from two years in a Chinese prisoner-of-war camp, faces court-martial for treason. HOW it happened is a question all too easily answered: everyone is familiar with the techniques of the enemy brain-washers. The burning question is WHY.''
