Johnson's approval by the Senate is a near certainty. The appointment not only delighted liberals but also drew surprising praise from some segregationists, who were forced to acknowledge Johnson's fairness and integrity. Johnson, 58, has probably handed down more important and innovative rulings than any trial judge in U.S. history. Almost immediately after his appointment to the federal bench in 1955, he began issuing orders that broke down segregation in Dixie. His role as point man for social change brought him and his family ostracism, vituperation, cross burnings and death threats. With Johnson obviously in mind...
...film marks the crest of the "Hitler wave," which began in the early 1970s with a flood of books on the Reichskanzler and his era. Producer Joachim Fest, co-publisher of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and author of Hitler, a massive 1973 biography, drew on film clips of the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Using his book's conclusions as a base, Fest set out to make a movie that would explore how an obscure Austrian postcard artist could win power and put it to such evil purposes. As the newspaper Die Welt noted in its review...
...dinner in the Secretary's honor, in a 22-minute toast, Begin drew a parallel between the P.L.O. and the Nazis, and described the P.L.O. philosophy as "an Arabic Mein Kampf [which was] a danger to all free nations."

This psychological approach drew some critical fire as the five volumes on James appeared, but it fascinates his Dartmouth students. "I don't go overboard about biography, so to speak, but I think Edel's psychological method offers interesting insights," says Senior Peter Tagge. An ardent sailor, Tagge is writing for his course project a profile of round-the-world Sailor Robin Knox-Johnston. Diane Kilpatrick, a psychologist at Dartmouth's student health center, was also drawn by Edel's analytic method. When Edel proved at the first session to be "a fascinating storyteller," she juggled...
...Ride What to do with ski slopes in summer? One answer: build concrete shoots and go down them in sleds. First and longest (4,060 ft.) of the so-called Alpine Slides was installed for $400,000 last year at Bromley Mountain in Vermont and drew more than 170,000 riders at $2.75 each. There are now 18 of the German-designed tracks in operation, some with nighttime sledding. The one-man plastic chariots on the twisting, toboggan-like runs go up to 25 m.p.h., but can be braked to a halt. Who needs snow...
