...most fantastic party we've ever had," said Film Producer Kevin McClory, after opening his 500-acre Irish estate outside Dublin to performers from Duffy's Circus and a parade of Hollywood stars.

Their principal complaint: Rees' policy of holding suspects only on solid evidence and gradually releasing detainees has repopulated the countryside with alleged I.R.A. diehards.
