Before long, Premier Amintore Fanfani felt called upon to protest to the British Foreign Office. When the F.O. refused responsibility for Monty's opinions, Rome's Fascist ll Secolo snapped: "Pontius Pilate, sneering, washes his hands in the Thames."

In four other states-South Carolina, North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona-the situation is much the same; the laws have had virtually no effect on union or labor relations. There are many ways to get around them. In Virginia unionists in the building trades...
BLOODY BABS, THE TIGER WOMAN, scream the tabloids, and the jury gives her the limit. But Convict Graham protests her innocence, and her protest is supported by a well-known psychiatrist. Says he: "She is totally immoral, [but] her crimes are the crimes of those for whom physical violence is impossible." The defense appeals. The court upholds the death verdict. The date of execution is fixed...
