Having prudently brought along an overnight bag, Russell obviously hoped to go to jail ("If you condemn us," said he, "you'll be helping our cause"), and Magistrate Bertram Reece obliged. Amid gallery cries of "Fascist!" and "Shame!", he imposed a two-month sentence, later reduced to one week for health reasons. Then the frail old man was whisked un ceremoniously away (unknown hands had written three hasty words in the dust on his Black Maria: "Ban the bomb") to Brixton jail.

...relation to the provocation in slaughtering more than 800 Tunisians at Bizerte? De Gaulle is reported to have remarked: "Bourguiba decided to act like a clown. He was rapped over the knuckles for it. So much the worse for him." The failure of the U.N.

"But even the parties who were asked to condemn the Chinese had no knowledge of the Soviet allegations until a few hours before the debate . . .

There was less agreement on how far to go. Most Latin American governments still oppose direct military intervention by the U.S., and it is doubtful whether the U.S. would be satisfied with a simple OAS vote to condemn Castro by name (which it has not yet done). The U.S. last week urgently reminded Latin American ambassadors of the 1954 Caracas declaration pledging joint action by the American states to stop Communist aggression in the hemisphere. The State Department is thinking of calling an emergency meeting of the foreign ministers of the OAS to reach a common decision on action against...
