Israel's general election last week was conducted in a peculiar mood of pettishness and bad temper. In one Galilean village, 201 ballots were invalidated because they proved to be one-fifth of an inch smaller than regulation size. Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem refused to enter a polling place that had once been a Christian church and still bore across. Tel Aviv election officials were shocked when voters, en route to the beach, voted while wearing bikinis and swimming trunks...
...Jerusalem: Checking for Eichmann story whether any criminal has ever been hanged during 13 years of Israel statehood. See THE WORLD, Trial...
Most Israelis seem impatient at the delays. A Jerusalem lawyer conceded last week that Hausner had not proved Eichmann was the "main cog'' in exterminating Jews. Too many others were involved, he said, "to pin all the blame on one man." Then he added: "But what does it matter if you hang Eichmann as a big or a little cog, so long as you hang him?"

...windows, commissioned two years ago by the U.S. Jewish women's charitable organization, Hadassah, for the new Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center just outside Jerusalem, have absorbed all of Chagall's time.

Commuting between his home in Vence, in the south of France and the famed workshop of the Simon family in Rheims, Chagall first made sketches of the windows, cut out models in colored paper and fabrics to simulate the design, then personally poured the acid on the glass to achieve the precise, subtle gradations of color he sought...
...time last week in the small Jerusalem courtroom, it was Jew v. Jew. Stately Baron Pinhas von Freudiger (his grandfather had been ennobled by Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Josef), who was formerly a prominent Jewish leader in Budapest, took the witness stand. As he emotionally described his dealings with Adolf Eichmann in an effort to save the lives of Hungary's 1,000,000 Jews, a squat, burly man in a golfer's cap leaped to his feet screaming "Hypocrite! You duped us so you could save yourselves and your families! Our families were killed. You have...
