...reduce tensions between the Serbs, Yugoslavia's dominant group (8.5 million), and the neighboring Croats, who are the country's second most numerous nationality (4.3 million) and politically its most troublesome. Relations between the two ethnic groups, never good, were tragically bloodied during World War II when pro-Nazi Croats slaughtered some 100,000 Serbs living in Croatia...
Thousand Families. The Shah has not always been so enlightened. Installed by occupying British and Russian troops in 1941 to replace his pro-Nazi father-an illiterate foot soldier who rose to the rank of general and then seized the throne-the Shah came to the palace as a spoiled young man interested mainly in pretty girls and flashy cars. He had plenty of oil money to spend, and the unqualified cold-war backing of Washington, which saw him mainly as an anti-Communist with a long border with Russia. For ten unremarkable years, he lived in luxurious disdain...

...previous case of an anxious litigant's insuring a pondering judge (in 1959, for $14,000); the idea is apparently unknown in the U.S., where from time to time judges have died in mid-trial and left cases in shambles. In a famous 1944 sedition trial of pro-Nazi sympathizers, for example, the chief judge died after six months' testimony, a mistrial was declared, and the 30-odd defendants were never retried...
