Truculents. Secondly, last week, were classed the great and rationally truculent: 1) Fallen War Lord Trotsky; 2) Onetime Soviet Ambassador to Paris Christian Rakovsky; 3) Leading Soviet Propagandist Karl Radek. These and their immediate followers were sent away to individual exile in separate, widely dispersed towns of Asiatic Russia.
