So, England has dissolved the legally elected Guianan government without formally accusing it of more than possessing an aura of Communism...

After two years in prison, the bishop had "confessed" to such crimes as treason, spying for the U.S. and the Vatican-more than enough to hang him for, if he were really guilty. ¶ British officials in Germany paid 22,500 Deutsche Mark ($5,357) damages to Hans Klose, an ex-Wehrmacht private who was captured by the British and turned over to the Russians for five years' imprisonment on the mistaken impression that...
