Perhaps one of the reasons that

some Albanian soldiers who saw a
performance Of Karaguez, in which a
love story was acted, but without
bringing the lovers together at the
finish. The Albarians wouldn't have
1t for a minute. They fiourished their
revolvers and yelled: Make them
happy! Make them happy!' And
happy they had to be made before
peace could reign again. The AL
