Notes and topics

BR and Sartre comment on the description of the "cold-blooded massacre of students and other ordinary Mexican citizens" during a peaceful rally. They state that "the Mexican government has behaved with a barbarity comparable only to the massacres carried out by occupying Nazi troops in Europe", and "if the Olympic Committee agrees to hold the games in Mexico, it stands guilty of complicity in this crime."
