Next day came, but to Marche-les-Dames went no King Leopold, no Prince Charles, no Queen Mother Elisabeth, not a single member of the Government. Reason for this sudden change of royal plans was that the Rexists, Belgium's two-year-old Catholic-Fascist party, decided at the last minute to use the occasion for a mass rally. Because royalty must be above politics, King Leopold and his entourage stayed at home while 5,000 Rexists rallied at the Death spot. Though Rexists take their name from the Latin Rex (King), they are not the King...
...Reds but a warm and human character by comparison with the cold, brusque Ordzhonikidze. Russia has long been a land of personal vengeance and Piatakov was the kind of man whose Russian friends would risk their lives to avenge him. After the death sentence was passed on Piatakov, the "sudden death" of Ordzhonikidze was something Moscow correspondents not so much expected as awaited. They were handed one day last week a bulletin in which the Soviet official agency Tass stated that at 5:30 p.m. on the day before, at the high-walled Kremlin Fortress in which live Dictator Stalin...

Moreover, the broadcasters could not help wondering how many lazy or indifferent listeners had simply not bothered to switch on a bulb, although they were listening to the program...
That nation of rhetoricians, the Irish, love to kiss the truth with generous euphemistic smacks, sometimes like to roll the tart bitterness of an understatement on their curly tongues. Such a concentrated less-than-truth is "The Trouble," their phrase for the five years of battle, murder & sudden death (1916-1921). Such Irishmen as Ernie O Malley, who not only saw the Trouble at first hand but did their best to help it along, referred to it simply as "the scrap." But as Author O Malley well knows, and as his Army Without Banners well shows, those troublous scraps were...
