Brinkley unearthed one hilarious Administration distortion; to bolster the argument that Nicaragua is a Soviet puppet, Vice-President Bush has noted that the Nicaraguans print a stamp, which honors Karl Marx. Brinkley discovered that the stamp is part of a series depicting world leaders. The Nicaraguans print is honor of Pope John Paul II and George Washington...
...first time that Gorbachev had displayed such public affability. During a visit to Britain in December, he delighted his hosts with his banter. On a tour of the British Museum, where Karl Marx wrote part of Das Kapital, he mused, "If people don't like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum." Later, as photographers clicked away, Gorbachev pleaded for a respite: "Comrades, economize your supplies." Yet the British also found Gorbachev a cool, reflective man quite capable of a steely riposte.

(1966), in which she made a dottily poignant pilgrimage to the London grave of Karl Marx. In addition to these and other movie roles, plus extensive work in the theater and television, Handl found the time to write a novel. The Sioux was first published in 1965 and elicited glowing responses from the likes of Noel Coward and Daphne du Maurier. After initial flurries...
