...single-voiced Soviet press, savage denunciations of the "Tito clique" crowded attacks on the "Anglo-American warmongers" off the front page. A Red army paper said that Tito would suffer the same fate "as Hitler and Mussolini, only this time much quicker." Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, Soviet Deputy Premier and Stalin's longtime pal, called upon the Red faithful to rally together for the grand push against Yugoslavia. He also gave them a significant definition of what it means to be a good Communist. "A proletarian internationalist," said he, "is one who, without any conditions, openly and honestly ... is ready...
...expected trouble. "The Fellows," they said, "are aware that abjections may be made to awarding a prize to a man situated as is Mr. Pound." Mr. Pound at that moment was 1) in an insane asylum and 2) under indictment for high treason against the U.S. for serving Mussolini as an anti-Semitic propagandist in World War II. In addition, there were many who thought that the poetry in his prizewinning Pisan Cantos was not worth a damn, or an award either...

Zaim helped show the way by taking his wife to a cocktail party-a step almost unheard of in Syria. The Moslem veil for women is gradually disappearing and the men's traditional tarbush (red fez) has been going out of style ever since Zaim began appearing at official ceremonies without...
...seance continued. Once it looked as though Mussolini's own ghost had returned when one Luigi Filosa, a Fascist henchman, got up to speak; Filosa was short and bald, stood squarely with his hands on his hips and stuck out his lower lip in characteristic Mussolinian truculence. From dark corners of the auditorium drifted snatches of Fascist hymns. A philosophy professor, who shouted: "Democracy is a fraud!" was arrested by the watchful secret service men. The hysterical speakers babbled on. Yelled a woman teacher: "They come, these Americans, these ignorant bushmen, to show us-the heirs of Michaelangelo...
