Shortly after the war started se४r Barriobero became the presiding judge of the anarchists' revolutionary "People's Tribunal" in Barcelona, where he prided himself on following his own personal principles of justice.

Señor Sert declared himself satisfied that the paintings had been taken good care of, that they were all intact. On their nation's art Rebel and Loyalist had agreed...
...first it should be made clear that Harvard is fundamentally a liberal arts college, not a vocational school; we do not come here for the training per se, but rather for the effects it may produce.
