...week's end, Rivera ungraciously exposed Siqueiros' attempt to supply him with an alibi. In a letter to El Popular Diego admitted that he had indeed shot at the bus driver-but with a blank cartridge. Denouncing efforts to picture him as a lover of the proletariat who went around shooting proletarians, Rivera said that he had shot in self-defense after the bus driver had tried to run him down. He had been coming home peacefully in his station wagon, he said, when he found the Calle Centenario blocked by a bus. There were excited words, spiced...
...describe the feelings of the team as we enter the Yale game, I would say that we are determined.

Later a jury acquitted him, on his lordship's swearing to his alibi. King Charles...
...Parliament as a Liberal, and he is the brother of a lord (Sir Cedric Hardwicke). After the young people are married, it develops that Teresa has been mixed up with a hot-tempered Spanish concert pianist (Anthony Quinn) whom the police suspect of murder. If she furnishes his alibi, she-and her husband-will be forever compromised. She and the audience know that it was a perfectly innocent night she spent with the musician-but will the British voters believe it? These faintly lubricous difficulties are ultimately straightened out in a court trial...
