Rieth's hard-working bands have searched out and restored neglected German graves from the Finnish tundra to the Tunisian desert and-where permitted-have cared for Allied cemeteries as well. From its first camp with 60 volunteers in 1953, Rieth's Reconciliation over Graves program has grown into an international movement in which more than 3,500 volunteers from 16 other countries have taken part along with some 30,000 Germans. This summer 6,345 Europeans out of more than 20,000 applicants, aged 16 to 25, have given up vacation time to work in staggered...
...more than half of all Israelis are non-European. Assimilating these ill-clad, uneducated North Africans to Israel's westernized, Hebrew-speaking official culture is the task of decades. Cowan cites many fascinating individual cases to show the kinds of prejudice and frustration that arise when German meets Tunisian in the Promised Land.

That night, and on following days, more than a hundred plotters were jailed. They proved to be a handful of dissident army officers and some disgruntled landowners. But the hard core seemed to be supporters of Bourguiba's old foe, the late Salah ben Youssef, who lost a bitter struggle for control of Neo-Destour, Tunisia's only political party, and went into exile in 1955. When Ben Youssef was murdered in West...
