...stratagem whereby the ingredients were given away, and a reasonable sum was charged for transportation from bar to tables. The Rice was also headquarters of the Executive Council. In & out the doors of the Council's rooms passed tiny, wax-haired Matthew Woll of the Engravers; smart, tough Dan Tobin of the Teamsters; Dan Tracy of the Electrical Workers; smart, smooth John Coefield of the Plumbers.

It was smart for President Benes to give out last week that "yielding to fresh foreign pressure" he was unable to appoint as Premier General Syrovy, the people's choice, but had to choose instead a civilian, the Governor of Moravia, Jan Cerny- especially since it turned out a few hours later that redoubtable General Syrovy had actually been appointed Premier and had instantly...
