...American republic of today a hopeless corruption. Disgusted with the ignorant and brutal clowns who are today performing in all parts of the world, they hope that it will be our good fortune to have at last a master as intelligent, as cultivated and as clement as Caesar . . . The real Caesar was known only to Caesar, but it is the mark of the very greatest men that they reflect the endless perplexities and the eternal problems of mankind...
...farewell appearance in the U.S., Premier Mossadegh used Washington's National Press Club as a rostrum, and drew as big a crowd as had Clement Attlee. Everyone wanted to see the faint-prone wonder. About all that most got out of it was a glimpse of a man with a Durante nose and a gleam of cunning in his eye. Less than half the crowd stayed through his 40-minute speech in Persian.

...commanded by the crack French horseman, Colonel Christian de la Croix de Castries.

Clement Attlee actually did not need to seek election again until 1955, but with a shaky parliamentary majority of only six, he obviously thought it would only be a question of time until his government fell-and possibly at a more unsuitable time...
...Clement Raynaud, 48, a serious fellow, had always been interested in the occult, even when he was a cop. He got a diploma in graphology from one of those schools that advertise in pulp magazines. In a small laboratory in Toulouse in 1946 he began making a secret perfume of eau de cologne, Cyprian essence, ferns, the excretions of vipers and scorpions. Raynaud advertised: "This perfume is especially prepared to help you, even through the mails, to seduce, charm, or to awaken in you and in others troubling desires. To fortify your amorous magnetism, just a drop on a love...
