...long-term convicts tried to escape, attempted to free nine troublemakers in solitary. Using a smuggled-in gun, and knives sneaked out of the prison shoeshop, they wounded two guards. But tear gas stopped them. Then the five were marched to the prison gymnasium, were stripped, examined by a physician and shackled over the "grey mare," a wooden gym horse. As the doctor stood by, the warden himself and guards took turns walloping the five where mother used to spank. Their lash was a leather strap 6 inches wide and 2%½ feet long...
Bach to Berlin. At 35, K.U.'s new chancellor is an urbane, affable man who reads everything from Rabelais to Runyon, listens to everything from Bach to Berlin, gets along equally well with scholars, bankers, farmers and legislators.

Italy's postwar literary comeback was sparked in 1945 by Carlo Levi, a stocky ex-physician who prefers to be known as a painter. His Christ Stopped at Eboli (TIME, May 5, 1947), a prizewinning bestseller, was a vivid picture of life in the starving south Italian town to which Levi was exiled by Mussolini in 1935.
