Lugging his heavy cross, a convict was toiling up the steep street of Jerusalem that led to the hill of execution. He paused once, and would have rested against one of the houses. But the householder, standing in the doorway, told the convict to move on. He had seen plenty of such criminals on the way to crucifixion, and he did not think that they needed coddling. This one, though, turned and laid a curse on him: he was condemned to walk the earth through the centuries, yearning for death...
...Jordan. Little Jordan (pop. 1,600,000) gets modest Western aid ($45.5 million from the U.S. and $7,000,000 from Britain in 1961), has a yearly budget deficit of $100 million. Most of its development projects, except for the new East Ghor Canal scheme (TIME, Oct. 27) and Jerusalem highway, exist only on paper...
From the moment that Israeli agents in Argentina flashed home the coded message 19 months ago, "The beast is in chains," there has been no doubt over the verdict in the case of Adolf Eichmann. Last week, as a chill rain fell on the deserted streets outside Jerusalem's Beit Haam (House of the People), the three Israeli judges returned to the courtroom in which, for four months, they heard 1,350,000 words of testimony.

...Rangoon to return a 1955 state visit from Burma's Prime Minister U Nu, Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurion, 75, embarked upon a program unlikely to win cheers from rigidly orthodox religious leaders back in Jerusalem. Once the demands of protocol had been discharged, the patriarch of the Jewish homeland intended to indulge a longtime fascination with Buddhism by making a ten-day contemplative retreat at the home of U Nu, himself a Buddhist monk. Meantime, livening up the diplomatic garden parties, Ben-Gurion wowed his hosts by showing up attired like a potbellied pixy in Burma...
...protect U.S. Jews from their outbursts. I remember telling a Palestinian friend now in Amman that Jordan might persuade some Americans to modify their anti-Arab views by not refusing visas to Jews who want to enter Jordan, especially since the Wailing Wall is in the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem. He became visibly upset and declared in no uncertain terms that he was sure any Jew who came to Jordan would merely use his visit to formulate more propaganda against the Arabs. I admit this sounds pretty ridiculous, but equally so are the frequent attacks by the Religious Zionists...
