Part Two describes the reign of terror imposed on Palestine by the ultranationalist cults of violence (Irgun Zvai Leumi, Stern Gang), and culminates in a film version of the famous mass breakout of Acre prison that will be studied for years as a master's thesis on the cinema of escape...
...French-speaking third of Canada that is Roman Catholic Quebec (pop. 5,000,000) last week voted an end to a long era of highhanded political dominance. Out after 16 years was the Union Nationals, the ultranationalist coalition party founded by a stony-willed Maurice Duplessis and dominated by him until his death last September.

...shed on the men behind General El-Kassim. While their followers cried, "We are your soldiers, Gamal Abdel Nasser," the rebels seemed to be only in part a clique of Nasserian army officers. About half of the new ministers were civilians, and of these, five belonged to the banned ultranationalist, right-wing Istiqlal Party, whose members were old pros at nationalist plotting long before Nasser was ever heard of. After General El-Kassim, the most powerful man on the Council of State is Mohammed Mahdi Kubah, 52, the brains behind the pro-Nazi coup of 1941 that drove Nuri...
