Bundled against the Canadian chill, Britain's "Minister for Europe," Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath, flew into Ottawa last week to batten down some Commonwealth hatches before Britain sails into the European Common Market. After the usual pleasantries in the airport VIP lounge, a newsman pushed a microphone at Heath: "Just say that you've come to assuage Canadian anxiety...
From the moment that Israeli agents in Argentina flashed home the coded message 19 months ago, "The beast is in chains," there has been no doubt over the verdict in the case of Adolf Eichmann. Last week, as a chill rain fell on the deserted streets outside Jerusalem's Beit Haam (House of the People), the three Israeli judges returned to the courtroom in which, for four months, they heard 1,350,000 words of testimony.

He never traveled abroad without some big blocks of selected coal in his trunk to protect him against a sudden chill in a foreign villa. Ambiguity, misunderstanding and loneliness followed him to the grave and beyond.
