Retracting a Libel. Saunders reserved his most withering fire for more vulnerable targets: corrupt politicians, indolence in public office, the outmoded mores and traditions of the Old South. "E. F. Aydlett." read one two-line item about an Elizabeth City attorney who controlled the town, "was seen in the courthouse one day last week with his hands in his own pockets." Aydlett tried to bribe Saunders into silence, with no more effect than those who resorted to threats, legal action and even violence. Walter L. Cohoon, editor of a competitive paper, twice thrashed Saunders on Main Street and also sued...
...continually in trouble. After writing a poetic lament for his pre-Communist life, Chan was denounced before a mass meeting of other prisoners, beaten, and forced to stand and kneel and stand again for hours. In 1960, while on a rock removal detail, Chan complained to the authorities that "corrupt cadres" were stealing the rice supposed to go to the prisoners.

...their armed forces and economic policies. In fact, Saud and Hussein have been drawing closer for several years, impelled by common enemies-Israel and Gamal Abdel Nasser-whom they both hate more than they ever hated each other. Both are lumped together by Radio Cairo as "reactionary, feudal, degenerate, corrupt monarchies bleeding the Arab people." Oil-rich Saud has granted some economic aid to poor, refugee-swollen Jordan, and Hussein has become a frequent visitor to Saud's vast, anachronistic fief...
