...sent Silverman a note declaring their intention to continue disrupting classes "by any means necessary," then made good their threat by taking over a history class the very next day. Having warned them that further disruptions could lead to expulsion, Silverman must now prepare to take action against the defiant students...
...Occasionally, intelligence reports would drift in indicating that he was not only alive but making life difficult for his jailers. There were recurring tales about a prisoner that the Viet Cong called "Mr. Trouble," apparently because he had made several attempts at escape and remained utterly defiant of his captors. Some in Saigon thought that Rowe was Mr. Trouble. In 1967, a Viet Cong defector who had seen Rowe in a prison camp grudgingly characterized him as "stubborn, sneaky and very smart." At that time, the defector reported, Rowe was with five other Americans. Two of them later died...
...this tense milieu that the Arabs' "men of sacrifice" operate, in a defiant effort to exploit its instabilities to their own ends.

It shows one man winding...

Their defiance leaves the next move to the Franco government, and almost anything the regime does is likely to have unpleasant consequences. Having all but hand-picked the defiant Deputies, the generalissimo can hardly slap them en masse behind bars-or expect to find more compliant replacements for them. On the other hand, if "this attempt to help bring about a varying of opinion and the democratic evolution of the country," as one Deputy put it, is allowed...
