...children's home [March 24] are in good company, religiously and historically. The Apostles Paul, Peter, John-and the Lord Jesus Christ-were arrested because of the clashing claims of Caesar and God; but that will not excuse the Pilates, Neros and Judge Don Youngs. Justice is often sorely defeated by a rigid adherence to the letter...
Though he is often Olympian in his thunderbolt pronunciamentos, calling for ''total, implacable war," face to face Castro is strictly realistic. Questioned about the possibility that Batista might crush the rebels' proposed general strike, he said: "If Batista loses, he loses for good; if I lose, I will just start over again." If he wins, Castro says, he proposes freer labor unions, a crackdown on corruption and punishment for government "criminals"-including bringing Batista to book.

In Texas, and in upstate New York, where Basilio is a popular local hero, enterprising matchmakers put on live preliminaries before they dimmed the house lights, hooked up projectors...
...which his friends seem to claim for him, and which he seems not to have -to make the story tragic. Such men as Leopold lead a strange existence-condemned to life, but forbidden to live it. The main part of the book is concerned with details of prison existence-often, perhaps, most interesting to students of penology and the strength-through-pain principle behind it. There is the round of workshops, prison libraries, bouts in "solitary," a pet bird named Bum, a kindly chaplain...
