Matteotti Missing

In this episode – the week ending 22 June 1924 – the news is dominated by the apparent assassination of Giacomo Matteotti the Italian opposition leader. Although it does not appear that Il Duce is directly implicated he deserves a lot of the blame. Meanwhile, a British diplomat is in trouble in Mexico – when aren't they? – and there's bad news from Everest. A US judge demonstrates the correct use of firearms and some senators get gassed.
