...crowd chanted "Down with Castro!" One Havana police captain wormed his way into the church, confronted Boza, then startled everyone by ripping off his insignia of rank and saying, "I am with you!" The crowd carried him outside on its shoulders. Soon several soldiers tossed down their Czech burp guns and joined the throng...
...Sale. In his ramshackle capital of Stanleyville in faraway Eastern province, Antoine Gizenga discreetly remained in bed with a case of diplomatic "bronchitis." To help him assess his victory in the parliamentary elections, he had on hand a recently arrived delegation of Russian and Czech advisers.

In a murder case both judge and prosecution show an impressive sense of fairness. In a divorce case, an alimony hearing, the case of a Czech refugee who had stolen food to stay alive, the human decency displayed by all hands is all the more impressive because it is done without show or procedural fanfare. And yet, amid all the patient and infinitely cumbersome machinery of justice based on the Roman law, the Anglo-Saxon "sporting...
