...crime is nonetheless far from obsolete in Anglo-American law, says Goldberg. In Australia in 1959, for example, the Victoria Supreme Court upheld the misprision conviction of a man who knew who shot him but refused to tell the police. In England in 1961, the House of Lords upheld the similar conviction of a man who had discovered an arms theft at a U.S. Air Force base but failed to report it. In the U.S., says Goldberg, misprision of felony is a perfectly viable common-law charge in Vermont, a statutory offense in Maine, and a 176-year-old federal...
...longer term, Britain will ally itself with Continental countries, notably France, to build a European aerospace industry that might do battle against the Americans. The chief hope is the Anglo-French Mach 2.2 Concorde, which is likely to be the world's first supersonic airliner. It is slated to go into service in 1971 or 1972, at least two years ahead of the U.S. supersonic liner. Production of an Anglo-French prototype is on schedule, though development costs have risen from $500 million to more than $1 billion. Beyond that, there has been talk about jointly built military craft...
...Britain would insist on celebrating the 150th anniversary of Waterloo last year? Eh bien, mes amis, this year France gets her revenge. October 14th is the 900th anniversary of the subjugation of the Anglo-Saxons by that doughty Norman, William the Conqueror. The five departments of ancient Normandy are planning all sorts of festivities, starting in April and including a yacht race to Hastings across the Channel as well as to what should be a well-attended convention of all the descendants of the Conqueror's army...
...Snob has little interest in or sympathy for people who are not members of the currently fashionable minority groups. The most fashionable minority, of course, is the American Negro, and quite properly so, for Negroes suffer the greatest discrimination and deprivation in our society. Puerto Ricans and the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant residents of Appalachia are also -- again, quite properly -- fashionable groups to champion. (The best index of fashionability is probably the number of articles about the group in the New York Times Magazine.) Other groups, however, which suffer less discrimination and deprivation -- for example, ordinary working people of Irish...
Heroma is a raw little minority report on the narcotics trade in Manhattan's Spanish Harlem, made by a group of talented Puerto Ricans. Spoken in Spanish with English subtitles (plus a peppering of Anglo-Saxon vulgarisms), the film is mainly distinguished for acting untouched by the naive semiprofessionalism that blights many a small-budget movie. Topping the cast is Jaime Sánchez as Chico, a well-to-do but restless cat who sums up his birthright by stating his birthplace: "102nd and Lexington...
