...Uprooted Ones. The guerrillas who were keeping Greece in turmoil, though supported by the Muscovite, were not waiting for Moscow to send Russian troops to do their work. With far less aid than the Greek government had from the U.S., they had not only held out in their crags but had grown in numbers and vigor. In two years they had multiplied tenfold. They had raided and ravaged, living a hard mountain life unsolaced by Athenian cafés. A motley collection of uprooted folk, they had no status quo to preserve, no hopes to lose. Consequently they fought...
Urge to Boss. "I became an orphan too early," Markos told a Russian correspondent last week. He was one of seven children. His father, a schoolteacher in the village of Tossia in Asia Minor, where Markos was born 42 years ago, died when Markos was eleven.

The Communists called a convention for April 14, to form a "Korean People's Republic," i.e., an all-Korean Communist regime. Anybody was welcome who for one reason or another did not like the Americans or the free elections they proposed to conduct. U.S. occupation authorities did not restrain any Korean politicians who wanted to accept the invitation. Said one U.S. spokesman: "It might be a good thing for them to go north and find...
...much good these helpful hints accomplished was demonstrated one day last week when Russian soldiers seized a middle-aged woman at 9 a.m., at one of Vienna's busiest intersections. She struggled desperately as she was pulled into the Russian jeep. To establish her identity, she tossed her handbag to a bewildered Austrian policeman. The Russians patiently stopped their jeep, and took the handbag from the policeman. Then they drove off with the woman...
