Though the Concorde prototype was originally supposed to make its maiden flight next week at Toulouse, chances are that it will be another three months getting off the ground...

"Collective resistance," writes Miss Levin, "was never possible; by the time Jews grasped the reality that they were doomed to be killed no matter what they did, they were isolated, weakened and abandoned." And until that terrible moment, there was the diabolical "tease-and-terror seesaw" psychology of the Nazis, who deliberately "cultivated the illusion that there would be a way out." Until the war's very end, for example, Nazi propagandists billed the camp at Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia as a kind of idyllic community, though for scores of thousands-including 15,000 of the more than...
