Ο Επικήδειος λόγος του Διαδόχου Παύλου στην Μητρόπολη Αθηνών
«Κωνσταντίνε Μεγαλειότατε, Βασιλιά πατέρα μου, παππού, Ολυμπιονίκη.

The last Samurai
Otoya Yamaguchi (22 February 1943 – 2 November 1960)
On October 12, 1960, the 17year old Otoya Yamaguchi assassinated Inejiro Asanuma, head of the Japan Socialist Party, during a televised political debate for the coming elections for the House of Representatives.

Asanuma died before he reach the hospital.
Otoya Yamaguchi hung in his cell, while being held in a juvenile detention facility, some days later, on November 2.
