L'Affair Kravchenko.

Under the French law the press is ordinarily forbidden to report a libel trial, but in the case of journalist Vladimir Kravchenko, Justice has put at the disposal of the international press very unusual facilities for quick and widespread publication of the proceedings. Those who watch Kravchenko, as he listens, becomes nervous, gets furious, throws himself, sometimes blindly, sometimes cautiously, into the argument, hammers the table with his fist, advances with his head lowered, as if in a boxing match against his adversary. He commits mistakes by exposing his hand at points where the game demands that he hide it. When he ought not to speak, he speaks. When he should find a quick reply, he is silent or elusive.
