...chief concern of all the CHINCOM nations was the effect on U.S. public opinion of any seeming concession to Red China. Then the U.S. embassy in Taipei was sacked by a Nationalist Chinese mob. Reasoning that U.S. annoyance at Formosa would make U.S. reaction more even-tempered, Britain seized the opportunity to announce that it was going to act alone. Two days later British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd told a cheering Commons that though Britain would continue to cooperate with CHINCOM, "in the future we shall adopt the same lists for China and the Soviet bloc...
Capitulation. Fortnight ago, with some 60% of their beet crop already lost, a large group of local landowners were summoned to the city hall in Red-controlled Stienta and, with an angry mob howling outside, they capitulated to the Communist terms.

Desks, Venetian blinds, papers, files and other office equipment fell in a hail from the embassy window. Secret files and papers were strewn about like wastepaper. Some...
...column-inches of editorials. The paper did not have to wait long for the showdown. At City Hall on election night 2,000 Murray supporters spotted five Journal reporters and advanced on the newsmen chanting: "Throw 'em out!" A flying wedge of police separated the reporters from the mob. At another end of the building, chief Journal Photographer Eric Groething, 32, raised his camera over his head and warned four angry men who had backed him against a wall: "The first guy that touches me-I'll break his head." In all, eight Journal reporters and three photographers...
