Unprecedented are the conse-
quences of war and war
crimes which the whole
Polish nation have had to
bear?'
But, added von Weizsacker,
"we Germans too have deep
scars from the war. We saw in-
justice and suffering recoil on
our own people in whose
- name those crimes had been
committed . . . "
In Time magazine, Edda •
Mussolini Ciani, the 78-year-
old daughter of Benito
Mussolini, made a curious
rerevisionist observation
about Hitler. The Furher, said
Ciani, "was very polite and
had a soft spot for me. I main-
tain it was not the Fuhrer
who wanted things to happen
the way they did."

Rating 'Days
Of Rage'

`Days of Rage', the pro-
Palestinian film aired last
week by the Public Broad-
casting System, drew more
controversy than audience.
The first two hours of the
two-and-a-half hour show,
"Intifada: The Palestinians
and Israel," that included
`Days of Rage', earned only a
2.6 Nielson rating. This, the
equivalent of five percent of
the potential television au-
dience, compared to a 2.5
rating that PBS usually
receives in prime time.
Viewership of "Intifada"
declined after the first two
hours. The full show ran from
9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
In the wake of the broadcast
of Days of Rage, PBS an-
nounced that its director of
news programming and
public affairs programming,
Gail Christian, had resigned
two weeks ago. She will leave
PBS at the end of this month
to'return to independent pro-
ducing.
Ms. Christian had acquired
Days of Rage for PBS and was
responsible for investigating
its financing. An article in the
New Republic asserted that
the film had been partly
financed by Arab interests.
Ms. Christian told the New
York Times, "I did not resign
because of 'Days of Rage. But
I am a little concerned about
accusations that PBS was not
vigorous enough in looking
into the funding and should
not have put it on the air.
"You burn out because this
is a no-win situation," she
said. "You get silence when
things go well and outrage
when there are questions."
