...while in this century Hitler's concentration camps and Stalin's Gulag Archipelago institutionalized torture and brutality on a scale hitherto unknown. The 1948 United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights condemning torture was one notable reaction of the world community to the excesses of the Third Reich. But torture did not stop. The French used it systematically during the eight-year Algerian War. The British relied on torture to gain information about I.R.A. terrorists in Northern Ireland, while the Saigon regime brutally mistreated suspect Communists throughout most of the Viet...

Meanwhile, the Mexican authorities seemed piqued that Hughes had got away without leaving anything valuable behind. Two days after his death, Mexican detectives raided his Jasmine suite in the Acapulco penthouse and seized three aides...
...attention in his first book, Speer was a generally enthusiastic supporter of the forced labor programs. Aside from some worries about practical problems, Speer's only complaints came when he felt he wasn't getting his fair share of the foreign workers for the armaments industry. Inside the Third Reich mentioned neither those complaints nor his suggestion for dealing with uncooperative workers: "There is nothing to be said against the S.S. and the Police taking drastic steps and putting those known as slackers in concentration camps. Let it happen several times and the news will go around...
