Cer- tainly not the United States, or Great Britain, both of which he implicates for offering no refuge to the Jew and for taking a lenient attitude toward prosecution of war criminals after the war.

It was presented at a ceremony by Dr. Christoph Niemoller, cultural attache of the West German Em- bassy. The gift recognizes the scientific work done at the Institute of Or- ganic Chemistry of the University of Bonn in 1967-68 by Dr. Ruth Segal of the Hebrew University's pharmacy school,. who researched the chemistry of natural products as a Humboldt fellow. At the con- clusion of her work in Bonn, the Institute promised to present her own school with an appropriate apparatus.

We percolate the coffee in our own percolators. So you don't have to perk it in yours. All you do is place three tablespoons of Maxim in a pot, and add six cups of boiling water.
