Last month another ring of prospering foreign traders was broken up in the Moslem Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan. Alas, a railroad policeman was on the platform of Tashkent's station when coins clinked at the feet of an elderly beggar. The cop discovered that the coins were solid gold and bore the face of Czar Nicholas...
...buzzard is now full-grown and he flaps up an enormous storm. Also whirling about in the tornado are a superhumanly powerful dwarf who lurks in treetops and confuses Laurie Mae with his dead mother; an ex-cop who loves Jesus, liquor and sleeping with daughter, but not in that order; and a skinny blackmailer with a fat tootsie named Sugar Dolly...

Caught with Harraig in the roundup were about 40 fellow ringleaders in the underground party. Government agents also had their eyes on Algiers' Communists, whose organization now was outlawed. Ben Bella hastened to add that he had not banned the Communist Party-or any other group-for ideology alone...
