Stokes's energy and good taste in refusing to turn the campaign into a racist contest earned him influential support from the city's business community and the endorsement of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Although it consistently polled one-quarter of the votes in Finland's postwar elections, the Communist Party...

The Swiss sent Roe to California to testify against Loraine, who got six years on counterfeiting charges; the U.S. then returned Roe, who is now serving his own six-year sentence in a Swiss cell...
