Note the report in column 4: "Soft Answer To Lindbergh"
(Harold Nicholson, a parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Information (Duff Cooper) and Lindbergh's former landlord in Britain, sends him mocking postcards. In a version of the report in The Examiner tomorrow, the snarky postcards are sent by a Mr. Geoffrey Nicholson (Conservative member for Farnham.) I am not at all certain that such postcards were ever sent and that the entire report was just a wind-up by some too clever by half reporter.)
