...Some people say Colonel Nasser has promised not to interfere with shipping passing through the canal. Why therefore don't we trust him? The answer is simple: look at his record. Our quarrel is not with Egypt, still less with the Arab world. It is with Colonel Nasser...
Perhaps the sweetest of Old Balkan Hand Tito's satisfactions was the vengeance he was taking on the men who had spoken loudest in denunciation of him during his 1948 quarrel with Stalin.

The irate husband throws his wife onto a sofa, then knocks her down against a table; she retaliates by belting him with a vase and breaking a chair over his head. While the salesman, cowering over his vacuum-cleaner attachments, quavers: "You shouldn't do that!" husband and wife...
