...crime trials have been going on in West Germany since 1945. In the immediate postwar period, Allied tribunals sentenced the surviving Nazi leaders to death or long prison terms. Then the responsibility for the trials passed to West German courts, which have sometimes handed down lenient jail sentences that have outraged foreign opinion. By 1968, 6,192 war criminals had been convicted in West Germany. Another 16,000 to 18,000 alleged war criminals either await trial or are under investigation.

...strikers are equally adamant. Nurse's Aide Mary Moultrie, the strike leader, who was arrested last week during a demonstration and has remained in jail, promises "demonstrations, confrontations and more activity on the picket lines for as long as it takes."

...into License. Just now, Newhall is defying the city of San Francisco to throw him in jail for putting his mouth where his money should be. At issue is a new local ordinance requiring businesses-including newspapers-to pay a tax on their gross receipts, whether they are profitable or not. Such taxes are not unprecedented; they exist in more than half the states. Still, Newhall protests on the grounds that "this tax is a license, and therefore becomes, in effect, a jurisdictional regulation of the press, which has been prohibited by both the United States Constitution and the California...
