...racialist," protested Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere last week. "We are only getting rid of those people who are here illegally." The same menacing tone was in the voice of Kenya's President Jomo Kenyatta, who warned that "non-Kenyans, however rich, who ridicule the laws of the country, practice cat-and-mouse friendship and insult Africans will be ordered to pack up and go home." Who were these social undesirables about to be tossed out of paradise...
Overwhelming evidence sent Ethel and Julius Rosenberg to the electric chair as Soviet atomic spies in 1953. But a stubborn myth persists that they were framed. That myth sustains Morton Sobell, 49, who got a 30-year sentence as the Rosenbergs' coconspirator. Last week Manhattan's U.S. District Judge Edward Weinfeld rejected Sobell's seventh appeal, a free-swinging charge that the Government convicted the Rosenbergs - and him, too - with "false, perjurious"evidence...

He Frenchified his name to Pascin, but he was equally at home in Paris, Munich and New York, where he eventually became a U.S. citizen in 1920. Nor did his riotous ways change with his location; everywhere he went, he liked to sponge up wine, Pernod and brandy, painted with 30 or 40 friends carousing about him in his studio. And mostly his subjects and companions were the girls...
