Inevitably, too, the Nixon-Kissinger relationship was scrutinized more earnestly than ever for frictions. It became a journalistic fashion to look for "light between" the President and his adviser.

The time is turn of the century; the place, a Scottish coalpit town complete with oppressed miners, strikes and lockouts, an unfeeling owner and a bloody-minded mine superintendent named Mr. Brothcock...
...Jews and vanquished peoples, Odessa helped SS members to go underground or escape to foreign countries. Later it began to reinfiltrate them into German life, as it plotted a return to power and tried to vitiate SS guilt by encouraging the notion that the whole German people are to blame for the millions of SS murders...
