Chapter 4: Swiss Tryst. Hanging around in Switzerland, meanwhile, waiting to greet the Tool of the Plot, was a 42-year-old man, fatter now than he was in the days when he was one of Adolf Hitler's stanchest standbys, a man so severely wounded in 1914-18 that he must still lead an ascetic life-Dr. Otto Strasser, head of the Black Front, sworn to demolish Hitler. He had obviously planned the bombing...
Last week Chief of Denmark's Armed Forces Lieut. General Erik With celebrated his 70th birthday and (that being the Army's age limit) his retirement. He was succeeded by Major General William Wain Prior, 63, a tall, slender man with a deep-lined face and penetrating eyes, who is modest, sober, steady, a little bureaucratic, of bourgeois stock.

Later the full count gave the relatively conservative Opposition 41 seats, a clear majority in the Constituent Assembly (76 seats). The supporters of Batista won only 35 seats. As the worsted Strong Man glowered in silence, Government supporters claimed that legal technicalities in validated the election results in the case of ten seats, all of these being seats won by the Opposition...
