...Irish sweetheart, Mary McBryde Smith. Were Ford characters patriots? When World War II came along, despite a personal battle with blindness, Ford volunteered for overseas duty. He directed the Navy's film documentary unit, received a machine-gun wound at the battle of Midway, gathered evidence for the Nuremberg trials and retired with the rank of rear admiral in the Reserves...
...last it is official. Almost 28 years to the day after Martin Bormann disappeared in a swirl of Soviet artillery fire in the ruins of Berlin, 27 years after he was condemned to death by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, 23 years after he was reported to be alive in Russia, 21 years after he was said to be a monk in Italy, and less than half a year after Spy-Story Teller Ladislas Farrago claimed that he was still living as a millionaire in Argentina, a West German court last week formally pronounced the Nazi leader dead...
Died. Hans Globke, 74, durable German bureaucrat who became a powerful figure in the postwar government of Konrad Adenauer; of pneumonia; in Bad Godesberg.

Especially distressing is a newsreel of the memorialization of France's first anti-Semitic "authority" coupled with views of a touring exhibit...
Prejudiced Witnesses. Interestingly, McCarthy reports that before any of the My Lai proceedings began, a group of young Army lawyers suggested that all concerned-from generals down to sergeants-be tried en masse, on the Nuremberg model. Such a proceeding, she says, could have "apportioned blame in large, small and medium slices according to a single measure." Instead, the combination of separate trials and administrative decisions inevitably produced "a haphazard result" and left "a sense of un fairness." Even after Medina's trial, "the feeling remained that the full story of My Lai 4 was still to be told...
