Two thousand minor suspects were held for questioning in jails just vacated by the anti-Communists Arbenz kept there...

But 16 years later a group of British Sweden-borgians formed the first Church of the New Jerusalem at Great Eastcheap, London, and as early as 1784 a London Scot named James Glen was preaching Swedenborgianism in Philadelphia and Boston...
