...majesty of Louisiana law was District Judge Robert D. Jones, presiding over his court from a dais beneath the folded-up basketball backboard of the Covington (pop. 5,000), La. junior high school gymnasium. Around him, jamming available folding chairs and pressed back against the peeling green walls of the gym, were arrayed more than a thousand sweltering Louisianians-many of them leathery farmers in shirtsleeves, who had arrived before dawn (and had been sustained through the humid hours by soft drinks sold by the ladies of the P.T.A. for the benefit of the junior high encyclopedia fund). At precisely...
Tried and found guilty of treason, Fuchs was stripped of his British citizenship and sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment. In prison, where he picked up pin money as a librarian, Fuchs was said to have incurred doubts about Communism. Last week the tall emerald-green gates of Wakefield Prison in northern England swung wide to permit the departure of a black Morris sedan. In the rear seat, together with a police officer and a picnic hamper, sat Klaus Fuchs, at 48 a scrawny, balding man who blinked through thick-lensed, steel-rimmed prison glasses, set free after serving...
...Thirty green-bereted paratroopers of the Foreign Legion led the first French attack.

Above the rushing green waters of the Drina River, a beautiful white stone bridge with eleven vaulting arches provided a meeting place for the lackadaisical citizens of Visegrad. On summer evenings the townsfolk strolled its length, bought melons and cherries from the peasants, sipped thick Turkish coffee. The town elders sat smoking in the middle of the bridge, looked with contentment on the Bosnian mountains ringing their valley, gravely discussed public matters. The young men came to sing and joke, to flirt with passing girls or lean dreaming on the parapet. On such soft nights, a man on the bridge...
