Among the student strike leaders last week, few were more in evidence than a chubby, confident sociology major named Daniel Cohn-Bendit, 23, a self-styled anarchist who says he aims for "the suppression of capitalist society." At Nanterre, it was "Danny the Red" who stirred up so much trouble among its 12,000 students that authorities panicked and closed the place down. That lifted Cohn-Bendit from obscurity to notoriety, and all week long he moved from rally to rally, haranguing the Left Bank students as they groped for a sense of direction in their revolt against the government...
...world has all but forgotten: anarchy. Few of the students who riot in France, Germany or Italy -or in many another country-would profess outright allegiance to anarchy, but its basic tenets inspire many of their leaders. Germany's "Red Rudi" Dutschke and France's "Red Danny" Cohn-Bendit openly espouse anarchy. "In theory," says West German Political Scientist Wolfgang Abendroth, "the students are a species of Marxists, but in practice they are anarchists." Not since the anarchist surge in the Spanish Civil War has the Western world seen a movement so enthusiastically devoted to the destruction...
Suddenly Annemarie was a celebrity. A literary agent took charge of her publicity; Attorney Roy Cohn stood by to guard her legal interests. New job offers of up to $35,000 poured in. TV programs, including Johnny Carson, vied for her appearance (reports notwithstanding, she had not made a pilot film), and publishers bid for her cookbook (still uncompleted). As for Jacqueline Kennedy, at week's end she was still looking for another cook...
Warner was the last of the old-style movie moguls - the wily pioneers like Goldwyn, Mayer and Cohn - who ruled their lots like caliphs, buying stars like steers, firing directors as easily as office boys, and selecting scripts by gut instinct. And the power vacuum they left behind is being filled by men with polished fingernails and vocabularies to match. The arrival of the newcomers may not guarantee a Celluloid City renaissance. But it has already generated a measurable optimism...
Recouping Prestige. On legal grounds, Cohn insists that there is neither reason nor precedent behind the Gospel statements that the Sanhedrin examined Jesus on the night before his Crucifixion, condemned him, and turned him over to the Romans for a speedy trial and death. For one thing, it is most unlikely that the Sanhedrin would have undertaken any kind of fact-finding investigation on behalf of the hated bloody-handed Pontius Pilate. Just as improbable would have been a trial after sundown-especially on the eve of Passover, when most members of the Sanhedrin would have been busy with ritual...
