...chartered plane bearing Adlai Stevenson rolled up to the Sacramento airport administration building, a crowd of 250 supporters, carrying placards that read "Let's Have Another 20 Years of Treason" and "Stevenson Clicks in '56," was waiting to welcome him. Smiling and confident, Stevenson stepped off the plane, kissed a baby and was photographed while the crowd, prompted by a photographer, waved a welcome. Grinned Stevenson: "They're a well-trained bunch...
...Kkuko Toguri d'Aquino, more infamous as Tokyo Rose, whose seductive broadcasts in World War II aimed at demoralizing Allied forces in the Pacific but actually entertained them, wound up her ten-year treason stretch (with time off for rosy behavior) at the Federal women's pen in Alderson, W.

And it again raises the haunting questions which the official report put this way: "First, how Maclean and Burgess remained in the Foreign Service for so long, and second, why they were able to get away...
...handily to the great controversies of history, among which the Dreyfus case ranks high. British Historian Guy Chapman would like to change the conventional way of being wrong about the case, not by suggesting that the French artillery captain was guilty after all, but that those who shaped the treason charges against him were not so guilty as half a century of pro-Dreyfus literature makes them out to be. Among Author Chapman's more debatable points: "AntiSemitism played little, perhaps no part in the arrest of the unhappy victim or in his trial...
