...patience. Sternly, U.S. District Judge F. Dickinson Letts, 84, last week reminded Hoffa & Co. that the monitors are merely the court's helpers, that Hoffa must ultimately answer to him. The stocky, white-haired judge refused to accept Maher's resignation, then ordered Monitor Smith to resign. When he declined, Judge Letts fired him. ("You have been disappointing to the court in your failure to recognize your responsibilities and duties.") As Smith's successor, Judge Letts appointed a former FBI man: Bronx-born Terence F.

Different Conditions. Some of Dibelius' own pastors, who remembered the atrocities against the Jews which long preceded the gas chambers, were not reassured by this explanation. But when the 80-year-old bishop announced that he would resign all his ecclesiastical offices next year (when his term ends as one of the six presidents of the World Council of Churches), the synod was willing to let bygones be bygones. As Bishop Dibelius put it: "These utterances date from a time now 30 years past and can be explained as part of completely different conditions. Since then I have always...
