Twenty years after the World War Belgium is still torn with Wartime hatreds. The Walloons and many loyal Flemings have never forgiven those Flemish politicians who played ball with the German invaders in the hope that Germany would sever Flanders from the rest of Belgium and set it up as an autonomous state. Many pro-German Flemings were arrested for treason and imprisoned after the War and as long as King Albert sat on the throne, they had no hope of securing their freedom. Two years ago, however, broad-minded young King Leopold set out to unify his nation before...
Many Britons have of late forgiven Saint Gandhi his past sins as leader of the anti-British movement and have come to regard him as one of their best friends.

...forming a Jewish majority, the Arabs' attitude stiffened. Successive terroristic campaigns were waged, a "holy war" was in progress. Exile, imprisonment, death on the gallows only seemed to increase the crusading ardor of those who believed the Prophet's promise: "Whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven; at the day of judgment his wounds shall be resplendent as vermilion and odoriferous as musk and the loss of his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubims...
