At such times the differentkinds of news are in competition: press, television, and radio versus the grapevine.

Especially do rumors spread when war requires censorship on many importantmatters. The customary news sources no longer give enough information. Since thepeople cannot learn they pick up “news” wherever they can and when this happens,rumors thrive.

Rumors are often repeated even by those who do not believe in tales. There isa fascination about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor givesexpression to something deep in the hearts of the victims – the fears, suspicions,forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly.

march off. The men are cold.” We double off. Three or four minutes later the platoon commander, who had about fourteen

years of service, appeared. He was in a towering rage. He rushed straight toBroadhurst and asked him furiously what he meant by marching off withoutpermission.

Broadhurst said, “I’m sorry, sir. “My feet wouldn’t move. My mouth wouldn’t open. I made a gigantic effort and
