From Brazil came petitions signed by 2,000,000. The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, called for mercy. In France, where dialectical discussion is served with each bottle of wine, the arguments raged as if the Dreyfus case had come alive again; in London, where the press devoted more space to Chessman than to news of the Queen's confinement, the Laborite Herald said: "If he is executed tomorrow, it will be a day when it will be rather unpleasant to be an American...
