Less than a dozen miles from spotless, gleaming Helsinki itself, Russian guns firmly emplaced on Finnish soil are ready, if necessary, to reduce the pale architectural spectrum of Finland's capital to rubble. "Please don't write about that," a Finnish civil servant told a TIME...
...House of Assembly, United Party Leader Jacobus Gideon Strauss rose in deadly earnest to denounce the new bill as "bogus" and "a fraud." All week long the House hotly debated the bill.
