What a shame Black went out his window. Had no idea you could open a window with a briefcase!

Didn't know Dole was formerly "Standard Fruit." Partners in crime.

Ruthless, megalomaniacal people got control over a lot of helpless human beings then, and were sustained in power. The bully from the North clearly delighted in their twisted leadership "skills".

Qué lástima.
