...wooden buildings broke into flames, 100 M.P.s marched into the stockade with night sticks and tear gas. By the time the gas cleared, one prisoner was dead, his skull crushed, 23 were hospitalized, and 35 more needed treatment for lesser wounds.

In this picture, she is equipped with a husband (Patrick O'Neal), but by pouting continually...
