The Affair Between Johns Hopkins and Owen Lattimore
The reinstatement of Owen Lattimore by Johns Hopkins was the necessary first step on the road to the rehabilitation that is obviously contemplated for the First Lady among American witches. But the reinstatement raises questions for our old friend, the Academic Community, that it will grow gray and haggard in the answering. Because when the Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington threw out the critical points in the indictment of Owen Lattimore, the Court said nothing at all about whether Lattimore had in fact intentionally served the Communist cause and lied about it to a congressional committee.
