...That call, turning the army loose on the most powerful street support he had, was Mossadegh's fatal mistake. The troops were only too happy to oblige; they clubbed the rioters unmercifully and punctuated their thudding gun butts with shouts of "Long live the Shah" and "Death to traitors." Growing bolder, they forced the Reds at bayonet point to cheer the Shah, too. The next morning, the bruised and bitter Tudeh Central Committee proclaimed: "No more aid to Mossadegh, who is a compromising traitor," and the Reds retreated into hiding.

...Germany's liaison man to the Cominform. Only two German Communists were bigger: Party General Secretary Walter Ulbricht, who toppled him, and Security Boss Wilhelm Zaisser, who arrested him.

Why, it is as silly to refer to Paul Robeson as a "traitor to the good name of the American Negro" as it would...
...NAACP group had refused the film, they could expect sympathies, since Robeson has proved himself a traitor to the good name of the American Negro. But the U.N. Council presents a particularly lame reason for chickening out of the Emperor. Its exhibition will make them a "partisan" organization, they say, and thus restrict their ability to get UN diplomats as speakers. Disregarding the patent observation that the film's content is as controversial as a baby chick, this argument assumes an incredibly naive view of the UN itself. There are, in fact, few institutions more controversial than the UN. Patriotic...
