HARPING ON Adolf Eichmann's recent execution, Randall drives the reluctant Glas to speak of his own war experience--the horrors he, as a Communist and a political prisoner, witnessed in a concentration camp. Moved beyond expectation, Randall drops his own mask for a moment, pays tribute to Glas in a gush of sincerity, and resumes his bantering act, in order to tell of the hard times of his own life in the ghetto...

...friend's gang. After the first mugging, she carefully put her share of the booty-970-into a locked chest in her bedroom at home, next to her old dolls and the gear of her new trade: a wig, tennis shoes and a half-face mask. Then, as she told TIME Correspondent William McWhirter last week, she "just got fed up following the boys." So she branched out on her own, leading three girl friends in the mugging of an old woman, which she cheerfully calls "granny bashing...
