Died. Nelly Sachs, 78, German-Jewish poet who shared the 1966 Nobel Prize for literature with S.Y. Agnon; of cancer; in Stockholm. Daughter of a wealthy Berlin manufacturer, she might have passed her life as a dabbler in the arts except for the Nazis. They forced her to flee to Sweden in 1940, and the experience turned her into a serious poet. "Writing was my mute outcry," she once said, and in her six slim volumes she evoked the tragedy of the Jewish people with what the Nobel committee termed "lyrical laments of painful beauty." Her style was unrhymed, psalmlike...
...dialogue is merely specious; it is the attitudes that are openly corrupt. The film's war protester is Junkie Nick Filbert (Robert F. Lyons). To avoid the draft he woos a black woman with a large family, tries to flee to Canada, and attempts to convince an Army examiner that he is a raving queer. When none of the dodges work, he enlists in the Marines and becomes more gung-ho than John Wayne, only to slip back to his spaced-out civilian soul when he is pronounced psychologically unfit. The only implication left is that antiwar demonstrators...
Ambivalence is, of course, the root of Moreno's undoing. Even as he seeks to flee the country, he still finds himself defending the fundamental principles of Bello and his Green Revolution. As a former Communist Party member who did his time on the rack before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Schulberg is well-equipped to blueprint the attitudes and agonies of a man who once had high hopes for revolutionary reform. But his reach embarrassingly exceeds his grasp in dealing with Moreno's inner conflicts. What the book lacks is not philosophy or knowledge...
...happening at once. Twenty-five years ago this week, as the war in Europe rolled toward its end, the rulers of two of the Axis powers died violently, scarcely 48 hours apart. Benito Mussolini perished on April 28, 1945, executed by a Communist partisan as he tried to flee Italy. Adolf Hitler died in Berlin on April 30, apparently by swallowing a cyanide capsule. On the double anniversary, TIME's Benjamin Cate in Bonn and James Bell in Rome examine the ways in which the two are remembered...
...unlimited entry to all Cuban exiles, provides free room and board for six months, and finds them housing and employment. How many Greeks or Guatemalans would come here if we opened up our pearly gates to them? Oddly enough, all these doctors and businessmen weren't angry enough to flee during Batista, when 20,000 people were killed by an even larger secret police, and torture was normal practice. On the other hand, journalists from Germany, France, and the U. S. have shown how Cuban prisoners today are fairly well treated; torture is outlawed, and if it were practiced...
