...allied warplanes roared off for North Korean targets, then were called back to their bases with full bombloads. More than 200 F-86 Sabre jets patrolled Mig Alley for the last time, found no MIG-158 willing to fight. The last plane shot down: a Russian-made IL-12 transport, which might have been carrying some of the Red officials who witnessed the signing at Panmunjom...
Shortly after dawn one day last week, 3,000 French and Vietnamese paratroopers dropped out of U.S. -made transport planes and floated down on the ancient gateway town of Langson (pop. 7,400), only eleven miles south of the China border. Quickly the soldiers slipped out of their chute harness, jogged through town, and headed for the deep limestone caves where the rebel armies of Ho Chi Minh had cached war materiel. Taken by surprise, the Viet Minh garrison fled. Systematically, the French set to work destroying enough Communist supplies to equip two Red divisions. In twelve busy hours, paratroopers...
...Bevanites' theology, British socialism is a heady brew of rigid dogma, class hatred and "one in the eye for the boss."

Deakin smiled grimly. "We don't need the yardarm," said...

Ulbricht plotted with the Nazis in the 1932 transport strike, which ruined the democratic Social Democrats and helped propel Hitler to power. He was among the first to flee Nazi Germany (although he tampered with his biography later to suggest that he had stayed for a while in Berlin to fight in the underground...
