...impressed by the court's willingness to make this conscientious journey into the past. A doubting world has long since been convinced of the determination of most West Germans to redress the evil of Nazidom. Nevertheless, a fear remains that many of Hitler's villains may go scot-free.* Under the German penal code, the statute of limitation for murder runs out after 20 years. That means that no further prosecution of Nazi killers can be instituted after May 8, 1965, or 20 years after V-E day, the first date on which prosecutions were theoretically possible. What...

Jack Ruby's lawyers last week laid out the strategy for getting him off scot-free from the most widely viewed killing in world history. It was only a bail hearing in Dallas' criminal court, but in its course the lawyers clearly showed their intent to prove that Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald while temporarily insane from the shock of President Kennedy's assassination. If Chief Counsel Melvin Belli can prove that-and prove as well that Ruby is now recovered-it is possible that, under Texas law, Ruby could be a free...
