When Rio's police scooped up Lowell McAfee Birrell, 52, a month ago, it seemed likely that Brazil would deport him posthaste. Indicted in Manhattan on 69 counts of grand larceny and held on suspicion of entering Brazil on a false passport, the man accused of stealing $14 million worth of stock from a pair of U.S. companies appeared certain to end up inside a U.S. courtroom, even though the U.S. and Brazil do not have an extradition treaty...

Pflimlin...
...Washington, Immigration Commissioner Joseph M. Swing insisted that the service has to use force sometimes to get rid of "nogoodniks."

Leathery West Pointer Swing (classmate: Dwight Eisenhower) vowed to deport Staller Heikkila "if it takes from now until I get kicked...
