...Thinking. As Barzilai grew impatient for his kingdom, he began receiving a series of 32 letters signed "God Almighty." In red ink (when the Lord was angry) and in black (when he was not), the typewritten letters demanded that Barzilai return all documents and paraphernalia to Barti. The return address was not heaven, but % Rabbi Barti. Finally, Barti ordered Barzilai to Tiberias to fast for 40 days. "I ate nothing but a few slices of bread and drank nothing but water," said Barzilai. "But I did do quite a lot of thinking." As a result of his thinking, Barzilai went...
...give whom. Some typical decisions of those days: for Stalin, a chocolate jack boot; for Molotov, a chocolate stool; for Khrushchev, a chocolate bottle; for Malenkov, a chocolate table; for Beria, a chocolate pistol. An excellent cook who likes to serve Armenian fare with bottled Crimean wine bearing typewritten notes identifying place of origin, Mikoyan once invited his' crony, the late Secret Police Boss Lavrenty Beria, to try some of his specialties. Beria, sniffing the shish-kebab, saluted him as "Comrade Culinary Master." "Yes, yes," replied Mikoyan, with graveyard humor, "but my dear Lavrenty Pavlovich, in my kitchen...
...long ministerial meeting in the mirrored Salon des Ambassadeurs at the Elysee Palace, grave, bespectacled Mollet rose from his place beside French President Rene Coty and walked briskly out through the glass doors to face a crowd of newsmen in the cobblestoned courtyard.

Reason: he could not go along with the U.S. and British decision to accept Nasser's conditions for using the Suez Canal. Said Mollet bitterly...
Some jurors in his first trial, where the jury deadlocked 8-4 for conviction, dared to "go beyond the record and be their own witnesses" (by acting as their own experts on typewritten documents), Hiss writes. Some of the jurors in his second trial, at which he was convicted, were against him from the start and "lobbied" others over to their side. U.S. District Judge Henry W. Goddard, who presided at his second trial, was partial to the prosecution; the Appeals Court judge (Harrie B. Chase) who wrote the opinion denying his appeal failed to make a careful study...
...Great Deception. Hiss winds up his literary case in precisely the same place where his legal case foundered: the charge that he was ultimately a victim of "forgery by typewriter." During the trials, the case against Hiss was nailed down by documents which included typewritten pages of secret information that Chambers said Hiss had given him. In an effort to deal with this part of the Chambers case, the defense traced Hiss's old Woodstock typewriter to its new owner and brought it into court during the trial. It turned out to be, indeed, the typewriter that had typed...
