Kitami reports this incident, in French, to the headquarters of the International Secret Police in Paris, using a hidden radio set much like Strangway s in Dr. No. He is ordered to investigate. When he returns to the ministry to take the offer of a job, he is surprised to discover that Kurima speaks excellent Japanese, having learned it, he says, as a collaborator with the Japanese during World War 11. In the war of liberation that followed the end of the war, he had earned the nickname Tiger Fang for his ruthlessness. 

In Europe, too, thought was given to the ways in which chemistry could be harnessed to make weapons more effective. In 1813, during the War of Liberation from Napoleon, a pharmacist suggested to the Prussian General Friedrich Wilhelm von Biilow that hydrocyanic acid (HCN) could be applied to bayonet blades by means of small brushes. As Jean-Pascal Zanders, a noted CW authority, points out, it is difficult to conceive how such a venture could have been practicable. HCN is quite volatile, does not remain very long on any object exposed to the elements, and would just as likely poison friendly troops in any case. 

Although - apart from Vietnam - Beijing apparently did not provide much concrete support for these movements. See Peter Van Ness, Revolution and Chinese Foreign Policy Peking s Support for Wars of National Liberation (Berkeley, 1970).

This was evident in the minimal role that it was playing in Vietnam as compared to the Soviet Union. China s capacity to inspire wars of national liberation had been significantly reduced because of its internal problems as well as the economic and political development of noncommunist Asia. Taken together, his remarks implied that the United States could afford less direct involvement in the region because of the reduced Chinese threat.

Also a common refrain was that the Geneva Conventions were ill-equipped to regulate the methods with which wars of national liberation were being fought. The employment of guerrilla tactics was a hallmark of wars of national libera-tion. Guerrilla tactics are, in practical terms, almost opposite to the military tac-...

In the curricular wars of the 19th century, much breath was expended and much ink was spilt about the required content of a liberal education, and particularly about the place of Greek and Latin within it. In the final decades of the century, both Ezra Cornell, after whom Cornell University was named, and Charles William Eliot, the legendary President of Harvard, introduced the elective system to their universities in order to defuse these fierce arguments about content. That system, which quickly...

That were it an explicit admission, or were an express declaration of this obligation now to be made, it would not take from us that right which exists at all times of liberating ourselves when an adherence to the treaties would be ruinous or destructive to the society and that the not renouncing the treaties now is so far from being a breach of neutrality, that the doing it would be the breach, by giving just cause of war to France.
