Gathering some of his closest associates around him, Perón consolidated his gains in a radio speech. It was sweetly reasonable in tone, but both his words and his voice were strong and confident. He bore down hard on an effective point: the rebels' disregard for the lives of bystanders in their attempt at assassination by aerial bombing. (Agreed a chauffeur: "If they'd had one man with guts, they'd have assassinated Perón openly.") "In the face of such infamy, disloyalty and treason," Perón said sadly...

One example--and there are many others--of the former characteristic is the Liberal hue and cry, usually pursued to a sickening degree, whenever Joe McCarthy was alleged to have stepped on a pink...
...assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and, like most historians, found her innocent. Doreen Lang captured believably the quality of a woman too pure-minded to know or guess at the plot that was hatched in her own house; the military court that condemned her to death had that toplofty disregard for the evidence that seems to identify all judges who hear cases with their minds already made...
