...Cultural Revolution was carried through with violence, viciousness, humiliation of simple persons--all the horrible mob scenes we know from any vigilante or kangaroo court action. If Mr. Nwafor wants some corroboration, let him read the account in the current issue of Harper's of the Chinese Cultural Revolution by Eric Gordon, an English Communist and Maoist, who spent four years in Peking, working for the government's Foreign Language Press Association, and who came out sickened.

Director Giuliano Montaldo reconstructs the trial as if it were a kangaroo court and treats the men like innocents. This version makes dramatic sense, but it is, unfortunately, at odds with the truth. In a painstakingly researched book, Tragedy in Dedham, Francis Russell proved nine years ago that Nicola Sacco was indeed implicated in the murder of which he was accused. "Beyond...
