...watch firemen put out a grass fire. Without warning or provocation, they said, the police opened up in a murderous fusillade of shotgun, pistol and rifle fire. Said Charles W. Hildebrand, a student: "At first I thought they were firing blanks, but then somebody, yelled, 'Oh Lord, I'm hit!' I felt a blow, like a brick, on the back of my leg. I went down and got up and I was hit again, in the hip. I got up and ran, and I was hit under the armpit." Of the 30 victims, 28 were...
...David Ben-Gurion for saving his friendship with Konrad Adenauer in the face of Adenauer's appointment of Hans Globke as a cabinet minister. Globke wrote the commentaries to the Nuremberg race laws, Grass points out. He agrees with the German students who hate Axel Casar Springer, the press lord who preaches violence, who is a "co-chancellor, who is accountable to no Parliament, who cannot be voted out of office, and who has set up a state within a state..."

Had he seen the film himself? "Lord, no," the Senator rumbled. That, and six letters to the theaters, have been the sole Washington grumbles to date...
...Lord of a sumptuous villa, master of a 200-worker foundry, Miguel Berrocal is, at 36, the latest in a long and rather glorious tradition of Spanish grandees in the arts. Like Picasso and Dali before him, he is both a dazzling technician and a self-consciously public personality, immoderately gifted and immodestly inclined to say so. With his French-born wife Michele, he presides over the 40-room Villa Rizzardi outside Verona, a Renaissance palazzo set among stately cypresses and broad formal gardens that he has studded with his own works. There, the couple entertains some...
