Could the nations that had tried Tojo, Kaya & Co. say the same? There were signs of growing uneasiness over war-crimes cases that had dragged on for years. Tojo's conviction might be a good place to stop and close the account...
...shoes and hats, put up by local merchants and automobile clubs. Only one outsider, a veteran driver named Juan Fangio, managed to muscle in on their monopoly - and paid dearly for it. In a road duel with Oscar, Fangio's car overturned. Gálvez raced on, not stopping to help. (Fangio cracked up on the next leg, killing his mechanic.)

Moffle, the wingback, clicked off 149 yards and tailback Roche added an other 130, including the two payoff long-gainers in the final...
