...make the easy return trip, as so many an ex-Gauleiter-now a people's commissar of East Germany-has done . . . Also, let Mr. Driberg point out just one difference between the program of his party and that outlined 105 years ago by Marx in the Communist Manifesto . . . We are assured British Socialism, when it gets really in the saddle, will be Christian and very, very British-the collective state without the Lubianka. Really...
...first, adopting an air of injured innocence. Jagan & Co. announced that they would take their case to the U.N. and to British opinion. Then they got their second wind, and Janet dashed off a fiery manifesto beginning: "Our country has been invaded by foreign troops . . ." and calling, almost in the same breath, for a general strike, a boycott and nonviolence.

And, more immediately important, the timing of the resolution was bad, might easily do damage to the tense Korean truce talks...
...Other Half. Two months later, Magda was back in Bucharest. In a quiet villa on the Alea Elisa Filipescu, she raised white turkeys; in the palace, she raised hell. "The rope for this vampire who stands between the crown and the country!" read a clandestine manifesto. For Rumania, Magda was wrong from every point of view. Her mother had been a Viennese dancer; she herself had been baptized in the Catholic Church and, if that was not enough in a non-Catholic and anti-Semitic country, her father had been a Jewish apothecary. But Carol would not give...
