...judged to judge the judge." Even though Speer is the only ranking Nazi to emerge from the rubble of the Third Reich with his dignity somewhat intact, it is unlikely that he will ever free himself completely from the opprobrium of having been so dedicated a servant of Nazism. When it was discovered in 1971, for example, that he had taken a hiking trip to Norway, Oslo promptly declared rum persona non grata...

A former civil servant has filed suit to set aside the Federal Government's retirement policies. The American Medical Association has allied itself with him, insisting in a friend-of-the-court brief that there is no evidence that older workers are any less efficient than younger ones...
