Germans call it die unbewältigte Vergangenheit - the undigested past. By that, they mean the national burden of collective guilt from the Hitler years, which saw Germany start the largest war and commit the most heinous systematic crimes, including the annihilation of 6,000,000 Jews, that ever scarred the history of a civilized nation. Yet in recent years, many Germans, especially those who grew up since the war, have felt that the whole country was unjustly saddled with the burden of crimes committed by only a part of the population. As Foreign Minister Willy Brandt put it: "Twenty...
...Ever since the cast was thrust into the world's spotlight, the show has been plagued by such petty jealousies and pungent recriminations that it might better be called One NASA Family.

But even their privileged position has not kept them immune from the present dissension and turmoil in the Roman Catholic Church. Last week Father Marius Schoenenberger, 49, one of eleven regional assistants who are part of the "Jesuit curia" under Father-General Pedro Arrupe, announced that he was asking to leave the order. He is the highest-ranking Jesuit ever to quit the society...
Currently, Los Angeles' U.C.L.A. art gallery is displaying 163 Japanese ukiyo-e hanga, perhaps one of the most comprehensive exhibitions ever. Its genesis was the acquisition by U.C.L.A.'s Grunwald Arts Foundation of some 650 prints from the estate of Frank Lloyd Wright. With this as a nucleus, U.C.L.A. commissioned Orientalist Harold P. Stern, assistant director of Washington's Freer Gallery of Art, to assemble a comprehensive survey of Japanese master prints and to write an accompanying book...
