...extermination of Jews-and the possibility of compiling official German documents on the subject. From these and other sources-but not from Vatican documents, which were not available to him-Friedlander wrote Pius XII and the Third Reich (Knopf; $4.95). It seems likely to create the same kind of stir as Playwright Rolf Hochhuth's polemical The Deputy...
...Germans, takes note of papal statements that indicate Pius' personal anguish over Nazi atrocities. Friedlander also quotes from a long letter that the Pope wrote to Berlin's Bishop Konrad von Preysing in 1943 suggesting that an open protest would do no good, since it would only stir Hitler to worse evils. He includes the argument made by Vatican diplomats that for Pius to attack Hitler during the war would involve German Catholics in a crisis of confidence, and would be open to one-sided exploitation by Allied propaganda...
...makes little headway when the artsy-tartsy group controls many deaneries. When will some members of the academic establishment recognize that sophisticated, detailed work in the sciences is an essential part of a liberal education?

In its sprawling, pagodalike marketplace, hunks of meat hang in bloody rows under swarms of flies; withered crones stir their black iron stewpots with k'uai-tzu (chopsticks) while spidery men stagger past under shoulder poles bending to the weight of oil and rice-wine buckets. Over all beats the cacophony of commerce: the steamy hiss of sidewalk cooking kiosks, the piping cry of the noodle vendors, the clash of cymbals advertising the approach of the blind Chinese masseurs who ply their...
