...anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the antiabortion forces march on Washington, sending a red rose-the symbol of their cause-to each member of Congress. Nellie Gray, organizer of this March for Life, warns that legislators who vote for abortion "will be held accountable, just as the Nuremberg trials found individuals personally responsible for crimes committed against humanity." This year the march drew more than 60,000. As their own symbols, pro-choice advocates often display coat hangers-grim reminders of the illegal and unsafe abortions to which women would have to resort if the court's ruling were...
...selling cactus plants wholesale. In summer, when demand hits its peak, a cactus trader may ship thousands of the plants in a week. They wind up in plastic pots at supermarkets or in the homes and gardens of the well-to-do, from Nagasaki to New York to Nuremberg. The trouble is that many of the plants are taken and transported illegally. Says California Botanist Lyman Benson, a leading authority on cacti of the Southwest: "The cactus family may be the most endangered species of all major groups of plants." Cactologists list 90 native kinds as endangered or threatened. Even...
DIED. Joseph W. Kaufman, 81, New York City-born lawyer and judge who won acclaim in 1947-48 as the meticulous chief prosecutor in the trial of Alfried Krupp and eleven other executives of the Krupp armaments empire at Nuremberg; of heart disease; in Washington, B.C.

He settled for convictions on charges of plunder and slave labor and sentences of up to twelve years...
...would have cut both ways, of course. It would have shown Jesse Owens, the black American, taking three gold medals from the Master Race. TV might have had some earnest little between-meets features discussing Hitler's anti-Semitic programs (the promulgation of the Nuremberg Laws, for example, which denied citizenship and livelihood to Germany's Jews). Might have; but sports television's mentality runs to the upbeat, the visually appealing and, obviously, the accessible...
...duly eulogized as Britain's savior; but Beaton also observes "his feminine hands with the pointed nails and ringers" and the cracks in his patent-leather shoes. He also records the great man's uncensored political comments. Speaking about the Nazi war criminals, then on trial in Nuremberg, Churchill was typically direct. "Bump 'em off," he growled, "but don't prolong the agony." Evelyn Waugh, an old enemy from school days, receives the worst treatment, and for a telling reason. "In our own way we were both snobs," Beaton admits, "and no snob welcomes another...
