...celebrations had an additional significance because Wyszynski chose to emphasize a theme for which he and his bishops have been attacked by Gomulka's regime: the need for Poles to forgive neighboring Germany for its World War II crimes and forget the historic enmities that divide the two peoples. "We stand on Calvary," preached Wyszynski in the moonlight, "and hear Christ's words of forgiveness for those who crucified him. From Jasna Gora, we the Polish bishops, and God's representatives, we also forgive." "We forgive," the crowd thundered back, and the fields echoed with applause...
Summing up, Sir Elwyn pointed to the defendants' detached, unemotional behavior. "Are you ever likely to forget how the two accused gave their evidence?" he asked. "Did you see the slightest flicker of emotion when even the most harrowing details were being discussed?"

In fact, more and more Frenchmen are gobbling a snack and forgoing a leisurely feast at lunchtime. The man leading the assault on gastronomical tradition is Jacques Borel, 39, proprietor of 107 snack bars and cafeterias in Paris...
...Beat Generation of writing is forget it. Some curly new hair is coming up in Beardsville. The new boys still haven't found a name-The Camp Crowd? The Hallucinogeneration?-but they have brattishly proclaimed their principal preoccupations: LSD, pot, the Spirit of Berkeley, californication, and not fighting in Viet Nam. While there are only a few of them, they have begun to produce a noisy literature that confesses its mongrel origin in the cult of hip, the theater of the absurd, the works of Jack Kerouac, the pop art movement and some of the more deplorable traditions...
