...determined that the rest of the world should not consider the four-month trial a "legal lynching by vengeful Jews." Prosecutor Hausner exhaustively reexamined every scrap of testimony Eichmann had offered in his defense. Hausner divided the Nazi extermination program into three stages: 1) throwing the Jews out of Germany. 2) concentrating them in Poland. 3) herding all of the Jews of Europe into death ovens. In each of these stages, Hausner insisted, "Eichmann fulfilled an executive task of the first importance...
inside Man. There already is an example on record. When Taylor heard that the Army was planning to scrap the mobile 13,700-man "pentomic" divisions he had devised in 1956, the former general complained so bitterly to the President about the trend back toward the 16,000-man divisions of World War II that the plan was promptly shelved. To the Pentagon, this sign of power was ominous enough, but what really worried the brass was the fact that Taylor could so strongly influence Kennedy last May-a long month before he got his new job on the White...
Russia and Red China have little in common save Communism, and even on that they disagree. The nature and the size of the split can shape the course of the cold war, and the West's strategists have studied every scrap of evidence to help map its dimensions.

Last week there was new evidence that the quarrel between the partners is becoming increasingly acrimonious. Writing in the London Sunday Times, Polish-born Kremlinologist Isaac Deutscher revealed an astonishingly...
Cities that set modestly realistic goals are better off. Milwaukee projected 500,000 Seaway tons a year by 1965, may well hit that total this year, helped by a surprising spurt in scrap-metal exports. Ports in Canada are also doing handsomely, partly because railways there are not slashing rates selectively to buck the Seaway as U.S. railroads are doing. Hamilton, Ont., now the busiest port on the lakes, increased its traffic by 600,000 tons last year. Montreal went up 300,000 tons, Toronto...
...Ulbricht a few weeks ago, admitting that this "organized slave trade" with other Western activities in West Berlin, costs East Germany "one billion marks annually." What bothers Ulbricht is satellite East Germany's lagging rate of industrial expansion; it was largely shortage of labor that forced Ulbricht to scrap East Germany's aircraft industry a few months ago. In desperation, the party is urging housewives to go into the factories, and schoolchildren often "donate" a day of work in the fields...
