Supplying a guide and safe-conduct passes, Moranino sent Strasserra and four other non-Communist partisan leaders off into the mountains for Switzerland. At the trial, the ex-partisan guide admitted that on Moranino's orders, he led the five men along an Alpine road to a brush-covered hillock, where six Moranino men waited. Spotting them, Strasserra cried: "We're friends. We are going to Switzerland." He was still waving his safe-conduct pass and talking when bullets cut him short. Destroying the evidence, the Reds buried their victims hastily beside the road, took their money...
That Sunday morning, during a smoke break, he had found some of the recruits stretched out on the grass, even sleeping, in totally un-bootlike posture. Although it was Sunday, he had ordered a "field day" -a complete cleanup of the barracks with swab, scrub brush, creosote and yellow soap.

To observe the occasion, the U.S.S.R.'s brush-mustached First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan flew in with an eleven-man Russian delegation. Ignoring the rude remarks directed at pro-Western Pakistan by Bulganin and Khrushchev on their recent visit to India, Mikoyan quickly got down to business. Russia, he said, "is prepared to give Pakistan all the industrial...

Some of the music, e.g., Through the Years, is strictly barbershop, of the brush-cut variety. More, e.g., Birth of the Blues, I'm Beginning to See the Light, has a beguiling touch of lunacy...
