...prisoner known as Gorkin or Gómez, a revolutionist of several aliases, made most news in court. "Did you know any agents of the Nazi Gestapo?" asked the prosecutor, who was trying to prove that the P.O.U.M. was not really Marxist but Fascist. "No, I did not know any of the Gestapo," said Revolutionist Gómez, adding with the authentic Spanish touch, "but if I had known one I would have killed...
...reason for the attack was soon deduced. Dr. Sun Fo, son of the late great Chinese Revolutionist Sun Yatsen, had recently visited Russia and toured European capitals seeking aid for the Chinese Government. Arriving in Hong Kong, he and his party booked passage with China National Aviation Corp. from Hong Kong to Chungking, China's temporary capital.

Mussolini was only one Socialist who disappointed Angelica in the course of her long revolutionary life, but none of the others-Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev. the Russian Revolutionist Georgy Plekhanov, Karl Radek-renounced his beliefs so completely.

Last week, a young Irishman named Louis Lynch D'Alton dramatized the change in revolutionary hearts in a bitter first novel that showed how two Irishmen reacted to the Easter Week fiasco.

It convinced him that next time there should be no sentimentality, no proclamations, no self-deception and no pity. But to Manus Considine, who had intended...
...minds of the U. S. public. Twenty-eight correspondents say that Roosevelt is not a liberal; I am astonished to learn that 28 people intelligent enough to be able to write should hold to such an error. What do they think he is? A conservative? A radical? A revolutionist? A fascist? What nonsense! A radical, as everybody but your correspondents knows, is a man who proposes drastic changes in the status quo, and the establishment of new institutions, new measures, to correct existing evils. ... A revolutionist differs from a radical in believing that the change will be convulsive and violent...
