...years a bandit chieftain named Dadshah has ruled supreme on the harsh and inhospitable Tangeorkheh Desert in southeastern Iran, looting, pillaging, murdering and conducting a brisk trade in girls in the slave markets of the Persian Gulf. But though the bandit chief rates as Iran's Public Enemy No. 1, his business, a strictly domestic affair, has gone largely unhampered by the Shah's gendarmery. Last week banditry on Dadshah's desert became an international concern, and the Shah himself ordered the gendarmes out to catch the culprits, try them on the spot and shoot them dead...
...counter the words of Colonel Charles C. Loughlin (ret.), who wrote [March 4], "The average Negro is treated like a second-class citizen because he is a second-class citizen."

But too often the play-overlong to begin with-tends to spell out every last word where it should not even finish the sentences...
...time of the mass purges during the 1930s and begins with an angry rhapsody to all those who suffered death, punishment and exile. The hero, a Ukrainian Cossack named Hryhory Mnohohrishny, has been sentenced as "an enemy of the State" to 25 years at the slave-labor camp at Kolyma on the frozen Sea of Okhotsk. Now he is one of thousands of prisoners jammed into a 60-car convict train rolling across Siberia to the camp. As a counterpoint to the doomed men in the cattle cars, Author Bahriany describes the comforts of another train, also bound east, which...
