Dedijer is being kept out of the U.S. under the Immigration and Naturality Act of 1952, which permits the exclusion of aliens who might "engage in activities...prejudicial to the public interest." A State Department official said recently that his visit was considered "untimely,"--translation: last summer Dedijer served as president of Bertrand Russell's war crimes tribunal, which condemned American actions in Vietnam...

A young corpse a year, with frequent visits to the graves on the moors, kept Ian and Myra reasonably serene but leaves Williams feverishly laying out plot and explication like a row of tombstones.* He points, he nudges, he oohs and ahs in both Scottish and Lancashire accents until prison doors finally clank for keeps on his terrible twosome...
