...charges. Dr. Koprulu had long held that Sarol should be purged from the party, and he was in fact ousted for a while. But of late Sarol has been more and more often in the company of Premier Adnan Menderes. Last week two events went hand in hand: a curt government announcement that the charges against Sarol had been dropped, and Dr. Koprulu's resignation...
...Hitler's Atlantic wall. After that, this picture seems to suggest, all that the other millions of guys had to do was to jump over Taylor's half-dead body and be careful not to fall in the Elbe.
