...royalist guerrillas, who now hold two-thirds of the country and are waging a bloody civil war against Sallal's republicans and the 40,000 Egyptian troops allied with them. Now Saud ridicules the royalists as "conceited fellows," denounces Feisal, who gives them supplies, as "an imperialist." Before departing from Yemen, he grandly donated $1,000,000 to Sallal for reconstruction of the wartorn capital...

Into the echoing marble depths of Peking's Great Hall of the People snaked line after line of restless Red Guards, still in the capital despite earlier orders to repair to their homes.

Blankly unable to perceive that the islanders are more Christian than the Christians, this religious imperialist with ruthless righteousness throws down their god of love and raises up in its stead a god of wrath. With their religion in ruins, the Hawaiians lie open to all the blessings of civilization: whisky, syphilis and economic exploitation. By film's end the native nation in only 50 years has withered from 400,000 to less than 150,000 souls, and the parson is forced to assume...
