...then, even a nearsighted Bald Iggle would have spotted the hatchet in Fulbright's hand, but not ingenuous Max Gluck. He blundered on, trying to give honest and accurate answers as Fulbright whacked away. Gluck did not recall the United Nations report blaming Russia for smashing Hungarian independence, or that Ceylon was one of the five signing nations. Afterwards, he explained that he knew the name of India's Prime Minister, but he could not pronounce Jawaharlal. And the name of the Prime Minister of Ceylon "is a bit unfamiliar now; I cannot call...
...first months after the Hungarian revolt, the Communists arrested everyone they could find who had raised his hand during Budapest's Five Days of Freedom. The jails were filled with young people. But recently the pattern of arrests has shown a new trend.

There are those to whom the scaffold is a pulpit and those to whom it is the stage for a ghoulish Punch-and-Judy show. One of the pulpiteers is Britain's ex-Hungarian, ex-Communist Arthur Koestler, whose brilliant contribution to the campaign for the abolition of hanging in Britain has been published in the U.S. To Koestler (who languished for months under sentence of death in a Franco prison), hanging is no joke.
