Trifa's main accuser was Charles Kremer, a retired New York City dentist who lost family members in a 1941 riot in Bucharest. Kremer, now 84, has been trying to get U.S. officials to prosecute Trifa for 30 years. Last week, when the deportation agreement was read, Kremer was sitting in the Detroit courtroom...

That acid tongue blighted some very heartfelt emotions and a sophisticated political consciousness Costello understands, as the Clash never will, that political involvement must start on a very personal level, in one's own "Hoover Factory," not in a helter-skelter call for a "White Riot.").

Said he: "Those who incite disturbances must take into account bloodshed and jeopardizing of human life." Meanwhile, the government began deploying riot troops and water cannons at such expected gathering points as Warsaw's Castle Square. Tensions rose at week's end, when the state television announced that 108 people had been arrested following riots in the textile center of Lodz. Equally ominous was the news of joint Polish-Soviet...
