The party's flag was red, its organization split into Communist-type cells, its salute a Nazi straight-arm. Returning home to campaign for President in 1951, Haya so fired the Indian peasantry that Peru's alarmed aristocracy canceled returns wholesale and turned the presidency over to an army colonel...
Stanislaw J. Lec believes in almost nothing. He is 53. When he was 31, he was interned in a Nazi concentration camp. Every internee was eventually killed by the Germans except the handful who escaped. Lec got away in a stolen uniform...
