Never in anyone's memory had such strict security measures been clapped on a criminal trial at the Old Bailey in peacetime. Hordes of police cordoned off the sidewalk outside, allowed no one near the courtroom. When the trial began, Lord Chief Justice Lord Parker ordered the doors locked, the windows shuttered. In the dock was George Blake, 38, a British Foreign Service official, who had confessed that for 9½ years he had fed Moscow a steady flow of Britain's closest secrets...
...nearby La Suiza; they were brought back as soon as the visitors left. The recruits got rugged training in jungle, commando and night fighting techniques from a dozen U.S. experts and one Filipino instructor. They learned to use the most modern U.S. weapons-bazookas, recoilless cannon, machine guns. So strict was security that only a few officer B-26 pilots were allowed to visit nearby towns; infantry recruits were confined to camp. Incoming mail was addressed to an A.P.O. number; outgoing mail, heavily censored, was carried by pouch on a weekly C46 flight to Miami to friends and family...
Eichmann only listened, sometimes locking and interlocking his long fingers, or tilting his head in an odd, three-quarter inclination of strict attention. Occasionally, a muscle twitched in his thin neck.

Dean of them all is tall, gaunt Déodat Roche, 79, a former magistrate of Arques, whose lifelong dedication to spreading the Cathar gospel, organizing pilgrimages to Montségur, and following the strict vegetarian regimen of his heretic ancestors has earned him the nickname "the Cathar Bishop." More active is Sociology Professor René Nelli of the University of Toulouse ("the vicar of Catharism"), who lectures on the subject all over France and has been commissioned by the French government to collect relics...
...convictions in the one industry and conflict-of-interest charges in the other," in obvious reference to the conflict-of-interest troubles of a Ford competitor, Chrysler (see following story). To prevent recurrences, said Ford, top corporate executives must take full responsibility for setting up high ethical standards and strict policies and policing "with the utmost thoroughness and intensity." With a mea culpa, as a General Electric director, he also suggested that outside directors should make it their business "to be aware of the pertinent codes and policies of the companies on whose boards they sit." If the companies themselves...
