...recent past, but underestimate the extent to which moving the trial to another country undercuts any such attempt. Second, it is argued that moving the trial to the Hague would serve as a deterrent to ethnic violence elsewhere, which is a weak argument indeed; if that were true, the Nuremberg trials should have served as a deterrent to the war criminals on all sides in the Balkans in the 1990s. The final and most fundamental motivation, however, is that Milosevic’s extradition represents a personal satisfaction for those Western nations and officials who fought against...
...murder. James Kopp has been on the fbi's most-wanted list for two years in connection with the 1998 killing of Dr. Barnett Slepian. As the U.S Department of Justice began extradition proceedings a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that, on grounds of free speech, The Nuremberg Trials website can continue to publish a "hit list" with the names and addresses of abortion doctors. Slepian was one of several abortion doctors whose names appeared on the site - his was crossed out after his murder...
...Judgment at Nuremberg" has just opened on Broadway (for the first time, believe it or not), and it's one of a rash of Holocaust-related dramas filling stages in New York City and around the country.

This famous drama, made into an Oscar-winning film in 1961, is an icon of postwar liberalism, and author Abby Mann (who revised the script slightly for its Broadway debut) is a message playwright of the old school. Onstage, the work is rather lumpy and heavyhanded, especially since director John Tillinger has not solved the problem of how to integrate the cinema-like scenes outside the courtroom. And yet, "Judgment at Nuremberg" retains its power to move and provoke...
...main reason is that Mann, for all his polemics, faces up to the ambiguities of his subject. He wisely chose to focus, not on the first Nuremberg trials of the top Nazi war criminals, but on the second wave of cases, of German judges whose complicity was less clear-cut. The courtroom scenes are intense and satisfying, largely because the "other" side (especially Michael Hayden, as the young German defense attorney) is so well represented. And even though the chief accused (Maximilian Schell) confesses his guilt a little too neatly, and the homespun judge (George Grizzard) arrives at the "right...
