Lansky, whose U.S. passport was revoked after he left the country in 1970, will receive a laissez-passer from Israel, and reasonable time to find some other country to take him in (U.S. charges against him are not covered under extradition treaties with Israel). If he lingers on, said a government spokes man, "he will be taken to the airport and asked to choose a flight...
...Americans abroad, there are a great many misconceptions about his powers. If the State Department gives prior approval, a consul can aid a strandee by making a repatriation loan for the price of a return ticket, plus a small subsistence allowance-both on condition that the strandee surrender his passport. The State Department then holds the passport until the loan is repaid. In practice, only the mentally ill, the seriously injured, the infirm, the aged and "those with a hardship story good enough to make strong men weep," to quote a longtime observer, have any hope of being repatriated...
...When three men and two women checked into a La Paz hotel in February, an alert desk clerk recalled that one of the men had checked in four years before under a different name and passport. Bolivian police arrested the man, who turned out to be a Uruguayan wanted in Miami for drug trafficking. The cops let the others go, but BNDD agents were convinced that the ones who got away were important and traced the two couples to Mexico City. There they were identified as Jean-Paul Angeletti, 28, a Corsican, and Lucien Sarti, 34, a native of Marseille...
Under British prodding, Amin softened his stand somewhat: physicians, dentists, lawyers, teachers and some technicians will be allowed to stay on in Uganda. For the rest, there is no place where they can expect a welcome. India will only take back Asians holding Indian passports. The British use a technique called "shuttlecocking" to keep unwanted Asians out, bouncing those who exceed the quota right back on planes the minute they land. Increasingly, European countries resent having rejected Asians dumped on them; as British-passport holders they are Britain's responsibility. Brussels police announced last week that any Asians sent...
...espionage for the Soviet Union. (Ironically, her case, like the Ellsberg impasse last week, turned on a wiretap; Boudin won the Coplon appeal because authorities had eavesdropped on lawyer-client conversations.) Filling the gap in his practice, he began to make a name for himself in a series of passport cases: he diligently represented such noted left-wingers as Corliss Lamont, Paul Robeson and Rockwell Kent in proceedings that finally resulted in a 1958 Supreme Court decision ending State Department restrictions on international travel by leftists. All told, Boudin has argued before the Supreme Court 15 or 20 times...
