...said for those who help refugees escape, Loeffler's passport swap is a strictly commercial venture, just as his earlier schemes were. A Berlin prosecutor estimates that he grossed $50,000 in one two-year period. Berlin police are sure that the cynical Loeffler knows precisely what will happen to his dupes, mostly naive Western youngsters, and want to put him out of business...
...colonial exploiters. More often than not, the black child is taught?in a crumbling, inadequate public school?by a Jewish teacher. More often than not, the hated neighborhood welfare center, to the black a symbol of indifferent, domineering white bureaucracy, is staffed by Jewish social workers. "If you happen to be an uneducated, poorly trained Negro living in the ghetto," says Bayard Rustin, executive director of the A.

Tuesday, 4 p.m.: Johansen and Ormandy meet each other for the first time. "Did you practice the cadenzas?" asks Ormandy. "What cadenzas?" replies Johansen. His score does not happen to include them.

Unless they happen to spot the palms-and-soles rash, they are likely to misdiagnose the disease and treat it with sulfas or penicillin-both of which seem to make it worse. Lives can be saved, they say, if doctors will look for the distinctive signs, especially in summer, when the Cape and the islands...
HISTORY is happening to us now, and so we assume that someone is making it happen. But the shape of events--at Harvard and often in the world as well--suggest that if some people are making our history, they don't know what they are doing. And right now knowing what you are doing, and knowing what you--and others--have done, must no longer be the special problems of epistemologists and academic historians. For without the achievement of that kind of knowledge, the decision about what is to be done will be made in blindness and terror, with...
