Even by Philippine standards, it had been quite a convention. Garcia's task force took over the fancier Dewey Boulevard's nightclubs to entertain the delegates. Everything, including the samba-happy hostesses, was on the house. Delegates were met at airports, bus and rail stations by Garcia men who eagerly pressed a little convention spending money (from about $150 to $250, depending on the delegate, said Garcia's opponents) into their hands, guided them off forthwith to Dewey Boulevard...
While Pianist Liberace and brother George performed at a Sunset Boulevard nightclub, two hooded thugs hid in the garage of Liberace's home in suburban Los Angeles, grabbed their 68-year-old mother, Mrs. Frances Casadonte, as she stepped outside the house, and kicked her unconscious.

A soldier killed him with a long burst from his submachine gun. On the city's seafront boulevard the mob halted traffic, permitted European cars to pass, then spotted a red-capped Moslem atop a beer truck.

...French Ford came down the boulevard bearing four Moslems: two men, a woman and a child. The young Europeans invited the woman and child out. Then they dragged out the two men, beat them to death, and threw the bodies over the sea wall to the rocks 40 feet below. Then they lifted the Ford and dropped it over the cliff after them. Police, stoically watching this performance, brushed aside a protest by foreign newsmen that they stop the slaughter, said: "We haven't received orders." A French paratroop major who tried to intervene was slapped in the face...
