...crimes system was made to seem particularly unjust in German eyes last week by the climax of the case of notorious Nazi War Propagandist Werner Naumann. Onetime righthand man to Goebbels, Naumann went underground in 1945 and stayed there through the bitter de-Nazification period, emerging only when new laws enabled him to escape being labeled a major offender. An unrepenting Hitlerite, he was soon active in neo-Nazi circles. Arrested by the British in 1953 for "endangering the occupation," he was deprived of the right to make public speeches, write for the press, broadcast or hold public office...

What was closer to Young...

The new light, approved by a subcommittee of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, gives wider vision down the righthand side of the road, has greater overall range, cuts down on flareback in fog and rain, thus virtually eliminates the need for separate fog lights...
...midst of the journalistic battle among the liberals, the weekly Nation last week suffered some crippling casualties. Executive Editor Harold C. Field, righthand man of Editor Freda Kirchwey for the past two years, quietly resigned, effective the end of June. Two longtime contributors already had pulled their names from the Nation's masthead: Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, for 15 years a staff contributor, and Political Writer Robert Bendiner, contributing editor and onetime (1937-44) managing editor...
