...they deviate into independent maneuvers. Half-trained Asian infantrymen, most of whom cannot understand their Russian-speaking officers, march stolidly forward, knowing that if they falter they will be machine-gunned by the KGB. So blindly is the stricture against retreat enforced that even a temporary strategic withdrawal is forbidden, and the Soviet officer who recommends it is dragged out and shot...
...leaders in Istanbul were herded aboard ships, then drowned at sea. Armenian babies were thrown live into pits and covered with stones. Women, children and old people were forced to march hundreds of miles, over mountains, presumably to a place of deportation in Syria, but actually to their deaths.

...Monday evening approached, the sequestered jury was on edge: they missed their families and simple pleasures like watching television, which Parker had forbidden. Brown's last ally, Copelin, began to waver. As she explained later: "I was tired. Nobody seemed to think there was any other way. We felt locked in by the law." After she switched to not guilty, Brown held out for another ten minutes. Finally, she threw up her arms. "To hell with it," she shouted. "If you all can't see what's happening here, I can't help...
