...Antonio Corallo, known to cronies and cops as Tony Ducks-a title bestowed in praise of his ability to avoid convictions on all but two of his twelve arrests since 1929.

One employer, said Committee Counsel Kennedy, hired Tony Ducks just to come into his shop once every couple of weeks and glare at the employees...

This is a state visit." The fact is that, though Pibulsonggram's public statements are often almost embarrassingly pro-American, he and two of his closest political cronies either own or control 13 of the most violently anti-American newspapers in Thailand. Sample recent headlines...
