Responsibility for executing Foster's "death warrant" was claimed by the "Symbionese Liberation Army," a group unknown to the FBI or experts on local radical groups. In a letter to the San Francisco Chronicle, the organization objected to "fascist" policies supported by Foster, the first black to have headed the public schools in a major California city, that schools were giving police information about Oakland students-a claim that authorities denied...
This time a Havana paper was soon complaining about "the cynical marriage between Washington and the criminal fascist junta of Chile." At a State Department hearing, lawyers for Cuba claimed that the Imias is owned by the Castro government and is therefore protected by the doctrine of sovereign immunity. In most cases involving commercial cargo ships, a claim of immunity is not ruled upon until after a full trial. But Washington apparently decided that in view of the politics involved, discretion was the better part of precedent. The State Department advised Crowe to let the Imias...
Liberation from any historic context was one of the main tenets of Futurism--this was one reason many of the Italian Futurists turned Fascist later on, according to David R.

...machine. Casals's popularity accordingly extended to peasants, musicians and politicians alike. His status as the world's greatest cellist was virtually unquestioned. But he was evidently less ineffective politically than Franco's victory and the world's continuing strife might make him seem. "That Pablo Casals!" one Fascist general remarked. "I will tell you what I will do to him if I catch him. I will put an end to his agitation. I will cut off his arms--both of them--at the elbow!" And Casals indicated in 1970 how the Loyalist leaders regarded...
