Since there is no appeal from the military tribunal's decision, the only hope of the condemned is President Charles de Gaulle, who is empowered to grant pardon. In a front-page editorial, the moderate newspaper Le Monde asked De Gaulle to show mercy in order to finish "with the germs of civil...
...Pardon me," said an uninitiated Argentine housewife, pointing up at the slender, long-winged aircraft that swooped like hawks over her home on the pampas 160 miles west of Buenos Aires. "Couldn't they stay up longer if they had engines?'' They could indeed.

That's what his fathers taught their niggers. That's the way mutually respectful, self-respecting men ought to act. But in America men just don't extend themselves to be human. It's the system again. It's why Negroes call each...
