How Pete, in the middle of his first broadcast before a swank crowd, succeeds in stopping her is too ridiculous to be funny: While his partner holds the radio station at bay by pretending to have a gun, Crooner Pete breaks off singing, babbles impassioned pleas to Kit over...

In Malaga, 50 priests were executed by a machine gun squad. More determinedly irreligious than elsewhere in Spain, Barcelona mobs burned all but two churches in that city, ripped out religious paintings and statuary, tore open tabernacles and ground Sacred Hosts on the floor.
