After the massacre of eight Negro convicts at a Georgia highway camp last July (TIME, July 2 et seq.), a Glynn County grand jury decided that Warden H. G. Worthy and four camp guards were justified in firing on the prisoners. Last week, at nearby Savannah, a federal grand jury thought differently. It indicted the warden and his guards for depriving the Negroes of their lives without due process...
...A.F.L. was satisfied with him. He was eternally troubled by the brass knuckles which labor displayed to the world in years of bitter organizational and inter-union wars. And he tolerated and refused to interfere with the machinations of thugs like Willy Bioff, George Browne, George Scalise, James Bove, et al. Nine months before Scalise, the gangster king of the Building Service Union, was convicted of stealing members' dues, Green blandly asked Franklin Roosevelt to wipe out an earlier conviction for white-slaving so Scalise could apply for citizenship...

At 6:20, a loudspeaker asked the passengers to go ashore. On the battered Hamburg pier, the cordons of British troops and German police tensed...
Lewis (like T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, et al.) is one of a growing band of heretics among modern intellectuals: an intellectual who believes in God. It is not a mild and vague belief, for he accepts "all the articles of the Christian faith"-which means that he also believes in sin and in the Devil. After sneezing, he was once heard to murmur that it was "because of the Fall." He was referring, not to the season, but to the Fall of Man, which Christian theology holds responsible for the major disorders of mankind. Lewis is scornful...
