...riot's viciousness, the inmates offered no grievances to explain their outbreak beyond the normal gripes of prison life. In that, they were less articulate than the prisoners of the Marine brig at Danang, who rioted briefly three weeks ago. They had complained of cold food, excessive discipline, and long delays before trial. When the brig commander, Lieut. Colonel Joseph Gambardella, promised to look into their complaints, they calmed down and cleared up their cell block; and except for a brief flare-up when 40 parolees and trusties were moved out, that was the end of it. The prisoners...
...Pungo radio log, began the small and unhappy saga that official Washington soon called "the Julio incident." Four members of the Julio, determined to escape from Cuba, had taken guns, seized control of the ship and locked the captain and the rest of the crew in the brig. When the four asked for asylum, the Coast Guard consulted the State Department, then advised the Cuban ship to "approach no closer than the three-mile limit." It dispatched two ships-the cutter Point Brown and a seagoing tug-to investigate...
...Brig. Gen. Stylianos Pattakos Minister of the Interior The Greeks are behaving themselves all right, but what Greek can be happy if he never does silly things?

"The new cinema is passion," he says, "the passion of the free creative act." The old cinema, as Mekas sees it, was esthetically no more than an extension of the theater. The new cinema, though it will also tell stories, will...
...Oven. The scene was now set for the last ghastly act of the Calcutta tragedy. Spoiling to avenge their losses, Indian officers persuaded the Nawab to confine his prisoners in the Black Hole, a stone brig precisely 18 ft. long and 14 ft. 10 in. wide, ventilated by two small barred embrasures and designed to accommodate three or four disciplinary cases at a time. Normally, the cell was stinking hot, but when 145 men and one woman were pounded into it by rifle butts, the air became noxious with excremental exhalations, and the temperature rose so rapidly that within...
