...Japanese Communist Party is a legal organization, but all its leaders are wanted by the police. Five years ago General MacArthur, in a letter to Premier Yoshida, accused members of the Communist Central Committee of attempting to create social unrest which would set the stage for eventual overthrow of the constitutional government by force. Under the Occupation's authority, warrants of arrest were issued for the top Reds, who quickly disappeared underground...
Nine months ago Her Majesty's Governor General Ghulam Mohammed, 59, faced with unrest and growing opposition, took it on himself to reduce amiable Premier Mohammed Ali to the stature of a front man and began to rule with a set of decrees which the Pakistan High Court has since challenged.

Comrade Kaganovich built the famed Moscow subway; he also cast thousands of Moscovites into jail and changed Moscow into a bastion of the party line. Twice he undertook "pacification" measures in the restless Ukraine, and during World War II he reorganized the Soviet Union's dislocated railroad system, introduced the death penalty for failure to make schedules. Kaganovich was the first man to make servile speeches about Stalin's "genius." His sister Roza was Stalin's mistress, possibly his second wife...
