Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson), a newcomer to Eastwick, is everything the women crave, fear, pity, hate. He is, in other words, a man. In public, he snores like a boar. His jokes smell, and he does too. He is, he admits with the grin of a baby Hitler, "just your average horny little devil." With a capital D. Big Bad Beelzebub. But devilry in New England is not what it used to be. Women suspected of having sex with Satan are not burned at the stake; they are snubbed in the check-out line. And in an age when...
Elie Wiesel in his article on the Klaus Barbie trial ((ESSAY, May 11)) says, "France under Petain fully collaborated with Hitler's Germany." I must disagree with the word fully.

He was also the man who rejected Sweden's offer to accept Norwegian Jews about to be sent to Nazi death camps...
...sins of his father. So let us catalogue the sins of the son and compare them with his virtues. Richard von Weizsacker was certainly no conscientious objector to Nazi aggression. He was a soldier who participated in the brutal invasion of Poland which commenced both World War II and Hitler's genocidal program. After the war, he helped his father lie to the Neurenberg tribunal by denying that he knew what was going on at Auschwitz. He helped his father construct a perjurious and unsuccessful defense which included the outrageous claim that even the Jews had no "misgivings against Auschwitz...
