Remembering the stinking holes of Poland's Auschwitz, the smoking crematoriums of Germany, the boneyards and mass graves of the Ukraine, vengeful Israelis are not disposed to argue the fine points of the law. Instead, they debate what punishment could possibly fit the crime. Hanging, most agree, is too easy. Said one survivor of Eichmann's camps: "He should be made to live under the very same conditions that we lived in the camps, eat the same crumbs of dried bread, work the same, smell the same putrid odors from the furnaces. Let's see how long...
Diverted Attention. When Blair's appointment as P.R.O. ended in April, Crown Prince Moulay Hassan asked the U.S. embassy to assign Blair to the palace as a liaison officer "indefinitely." The matter came before Premier Ibrahim for routine approval. Instead, he declared it "would not be in Moroccan interest" to accredit him. It was Ibrahim's last official action...
...civil servants attached to the 63-member federal senate are $1,000.-000 a year, and those of the 326-member federal chamber of deputies are $1,890,-000.

But the rough stuff is merely conventional, and the race question, in the last analysis, is begged. Kazan's direction, however, is firm-most of the leading players give creditable performances, and Lee Remick, as the back-country belle the hero falls for, is singularly touching. Most...
...most consistently popular jazz in the U.S. is played neither by the young men with beards nor by the aging heroes of early jazz mythology. Instead, it is pumped and pounded out by Dixieland outfits-Turk Murphy's Band, the Salt City Six, Bob Scobey's Frisco Band-which draw nostalgic fans to hear new crackling arrangements of old fancies. Last week the Dukes of Dixieland, slickest and most successful of latter-day Dixieland groups, were shaking the walls and the waiters at Manhattan's Roundtable...
