...Though bitterly anti-American, Mosley financed British-style fascism on a fortune inherited by his first wife from her grandfather, Chicago merchant prince Levi Z. Leiter. After her death he married Diana Mitford, whose blonde sister Unity was Hitler's good friend. In the '20s, before his fascist days, he was seriously reckoned as a future Prime Minister...
...than the official U.S. rebuttal was some back talk in Moscow itself. One restrained critic was Canon Lewis John Collins of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, a leading British unilateral disarmer who was accompanied on the trip from London by such other ban-the-bombers as anti-American Pundit Kingsley Martin, ex-editor of the New Statesman and Nation, and Physicist John D. Bernal, a Lenin Peace Prize winner. Collins received a hostile reception when he coupled criticism for the "wickedness" of U.S. nuclear tests with Moscow's "grave error" in becoming the first nation...
...Canal. Under a historic treaty, signed in 1903 and renegotiated in 1955, the U.S., which has spent more than $1.5 billion to build and improve the canal, retains control over the vital Atlantic-Pacific seaway "in perpetuity." This point has long galled the nationalistic Panamanians and has touched off anti-American riots throughout Panama...
Despite the puniness of the U.S. shots, Washington had been fearful that they would set off a wave of anti-American, ban-the-bomb reaction and rioting around the world. Against this, the Kennedy Administration had clamped the strictest sort of secrecy on the Christmas Island operations-admittedly more for psychological than for security reasons (after all, the Russians could learn with instruments just as much about these tests as the U.S. learned about theirs). There were to be no eyewitness news reports from Christmas Island, no photographs of mushroom clouds over the Pacific. A medical officer returning from Christmas...
...Europe, France's anti-American leftists failed to hold even a single meeting or publish a petition. Christian democrats and moderate socialists in Belgium organized a five-minute strike for May 8, but the U.S. embassy had not had a single protest. Stones were thrown through a few windows at the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen. 50 demonstrators were held back by police, but the newspaper Berlingske Tidende said, "The U.S. was given no choice," had "a duty to restore strategical balance." No demonstrations were reported in Latin America or Africa...
