...addition, Germany agreed to deliver $822 million in goods and services to Israel over a twelve-year period; and individual indemnifications to Nazi victims may total $1.5 billion. No one argues that this is payment in full. But Jewish organizations agree that "the shame factor" is widespread. "The local railroad-ticket seller," said one embarrassed young man in Bonn last week, "knows I am a Jew and fairly leaps to take care of me first when I'm standing in line.

Each night from then on, as 13 years passed, Fido met the bus from San Lorenzo and waited patiently under it for his master. The local butcher gave him meat and bones to support his vigil.

As King Cobra faded into oblivion, Kontiki rose, working his way up to better and costlier bars...
...opinion. We reflect it." Though high production costs and what Williams calls "trustification" have killed more than 475 newspapers in Britain and the U.S. in the past 35 years, he argues that it is "not the one-sidedness of the monopoly newspaper that contains the greatest threat to local democracy now, but its circumspect neutrality in many matters where the clash of opinion is desirable."
