...Zeit in a front-page editorial noted that there is a "new generation" of Germans which knows Nazi crimes "only from history books and which therefore finds it hard to comprehend that being a German is a flaw of birth. For the sake of this generation, we may be forgiven for saying: One cannot treat a nation like a juvenile delinquent-always under the moral sword, a potential criminal until he proves the contrary...
Licenses for Trouble. At issue, as the smoke gradually cleared, were family rivalry and the spoils system. The potent Sananikone clan has never forgiven Phoumi Nosavan for kicking out their patriarch, Phoui Sananikone, as Premier six years ago. One of the clan, General Kouprasith Abhay, is military governor of Vientiane, and he has recently been quarreling with a Phoumi partisan, General Siho Lamphouthacoul, over who should control such imports as liquor and medicine, as well as the lucrative fees from opium and gambling dens. As a result, licensing patrols of Kouprasith's soldiers and Siho's police have...

We live in a changing world, and it is necessary that each country know how to interpret the Marxist-Leninist doctrine...
...real-estate taxes. But two-thirds of the county's householders duck out of taxes by virtue of low appraisals of the market value of their properties. When these appraisals are figured at the official assessment rate of 42% , they mostly fall below $5,000, which is then forgiven under Florida's ancient "homestead exemption." Every attempt by worried parents to elect an assessor who would raise appraisals has met defeat. Turning from the polls to the courtroom, a band of determined Jacksonville citizens this week begins testifying in a suit that seeks to force the assessment...
