Strauss was a victim.of Senate Democrats' heaped-up frustration at their inability to use their 64-34 majority to achieve a Democratic record. He was also the victim of Clint Anderson's obsessive campaign against him (TIME, June 15). Nursing a violent dislike built up during his years as a member and chairman of Capitol Hill's Joint Atomic Energy Committee, Anderson, to collect anti-Strauss votes, drew on his personal popularity in the Senate, drummed up party loyalty, and cashed every IOU he had for past favors rendered fellow Democrats...
Only two women had emerged with any clarity from Adolf Hitler's shadowy private life: his youthful niece, Geli Raubal, and Eva Braun. Both died violent deaths. When last March Hitler's sister, Paula Wolf, casually mentioned to a German reporter that she had recently visited with "perhaps the only woman my brother ever loved," Günter Peis's news instincts were understandably aroused.

Finally, at week's end, he permitted a doctor to give him a sedative, and then, early one morning, he was carried on a stretcher...
Luthuli, as a moderate nationalist, is more effective against the existing government than one whose activities and plans of action are patently dangerous and easily outlawed. Since Luthuli has never advocted "Africa for the Africans" and has used non-violent resistence as a political weapon, he is difficult to accuse of treasonous activity--unless one pushes this concept to truly paranoid extremes. Like the recent de-integrating of four universities in South Africa, this move by the government represents an arbitrary limiting of intellectual activity rarely found outside of totalitarian countries...
