Booking the four men for manslaughter (not murder), Swiss police did not make their names public, and categorically refused to hand them over to the Communists for extradition to Rumania.

The demonstration was enthusiastic but possibly a little premature: as Franco now sees it, 13 years must elapse before Prince Juan can become king (TIME...
...professor of English at Maine's Bowdoin College: of a heart attack; in Portland, Me. Raised on a Maine saltwater farm, Coffin began writing poetry while a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, soon became a popular favorite for his nostalgic ballads of Maine life and Maine people.
