...bags containing the remains of American soldiers killed in Vietnam. For another thing, he "branded" his product as "Blue Magic," which was a purer and cheaper product that his competitors offered. Finally, Frank, who is played with a smooth coolness by Denzel Washington that eluded the more rough-hewn Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney, does not come to a tragic end.

The whole world was gripped by the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII after he decided to marry the American divorcé Wallis Simpson. However, the last known blackmail case involving a member of the royal family was successfully hushed up for many years. In 1891, the Duke of Clarence, son to King Edward VII, paid £ 200 to secure indiscreet letters he had sent to a prostitute. The case came to light only five...
