...real sense. Kasper stood alone, abhorred by his fellow defendants, who had rounded up no fewer than eleven lawyers to represent them. As the trial droned on for twelve days, the defense attorneys did little more than rise to object or make wordy points of law, or try to inflame segregationist feelings in the jury. One defense attorney, Ross Barnett, informed the jury that Mississippi's Senator James Eastland had instructed him to "tell that jury what's happened in Washington." Eastland's news: 874 public-school children in Washington. D.C. "have loathsome and contagious diseases...

Before Cohn's desk, underlings watched the riding crop and awaited the great man's edict. If the studio...
...spirit of the period. The Home Guard went into action, some appearing on horseback with bowler hats and shotguns. Others (including Author Fleming) were organized into guerrilla bands with underground hideouts like "the Lost Boys' subterranean home in the second act of Peter Pan", with the object of harassing an invading army. The General Staff puckishly referred to this as "scallywagging." Smart shops advertised that beneath their millinery could be found lightweight steel caps. By German "black" radio, the British heard that the Germans had a "fog-pill" by which parachutists would float down in the semblance...
