Through three successive days last week, hoarse-voiced Prosecuting Attorney Gideon Hausner stretched out his final summation against Adolf Eichmann, whom he described as "more evil than Hitler."

Crowds ecstatically shouted for action. Roads to the base were blockaded, and Bourguiba warned the French to keep their planes out of Tunisian airspace. Barricades were erected at a safe distance from French outposts...
