including the summoning of the Minister of the Interior before the Paris tribunal de grande instance where they sought an injunction requiring him to apply for the applicant's return. Although the tribunal held that it had no competence to meet the request, it noted the `manifest and very serious irregularities' behind what appeared `not a straightforward expulsion on the basis of the deportation order, but ... a prearranged handing over to the Swiss police ...'. The Limoges Administrative Court subsequently quashed the deportation order on the basis that the Minister of the Interior had committed `a manifest error of judgment' and the administrative authorities and `abuse of powers'. The Commission concluded, by eleven votes to two, that there had been a violation of Article 5(1). Where the Convention refers directly back to domestic law, as in Article 5 (art. 5), compliance
one headed by Archie, the other by Archie's best friend, a Muslim Bengali named Samad Iqbal. Pals since they served together in World War II, Archie and Samad are a decidedly unlikely pair. Plodding Archie is typical in every way until he marries Clara, a beautiful, toothless Jamaican woman half his age, and the couple have a daughter named Irie (the Jamaican word for "no problem"). Samad --devoutly Muslim, hopelessly "foreign"-- weds the feisty and always suspicious Alsana in a prearranged union. They have twin sons named Millat and Magid, one a pot-smoking punk-cum-militant Muslim and the other an insufferable science nerd. The riotous and tortured histories of the Joneses and the Iqbals are fundamentally intertwined, capturing an empire's worth of cultural identity, history, and hope. Zadie Smith's dazzling first novel plays out its bounding, vibrant course in a Jamaican hair salon in
Thus plaintext e, for example, instead of always being replaced by, say, 16, will be replaced by any one of the figures 16, 74, 35, 21. These alternates are called homophones. Sometimes a cipher alphabet will include symbols that mean nothing and are intended to confuse interceptors; these are called nulls. As long as only one cipher alphabet is in use, as above, the system is called monoalpbabetic. When, however, two or more cipher alphabets are employed in some kind of prearranged pattern, the system becomes polyalphabetic. A simple form of polyalphabetic substitution would be to add another cipher alphabet under the one given above and then to use the two in rotation, the first alphabet for the first plaintext letter, the second for the second, the first again for the third plaintext letter, the second for the fourth, and so on. Modern cipher machines produce polyalphabetic ciphers that employ millions of cipher alphabets.
