On the witness stand Amy Carter said Wal the Tew demonstrators left in the Field Tell those who question the Worth of the almost forgotten an of civil disobedience i did the action for myself because i fell it was something i had to  she brought Back the 60s in other ways too. The preferred method of bucking the establishment in those Days was through the coiffure. Amy a natural blonde dyed her hair Black an unclear declaration that leaves her one of the few females in a world full of would be blondes with Blond roots and dark tresses she grew up in the Hothouse of the White House her childish quirks and actions mercilessly chronicled and photographed. Her father press Secretary Jody pow Ell thought the press was cruel o her publishing the wort pictures gleefully reporting thai she sat Reade a Tok at t stale dinner to the discomfiture of her Din Ner Palmr Secretary of state Edmund Muskie he fond father s disclosure Hal she had on being Consul Ted pronounced the Mosi important Issue to be nuclear .v4ponry caused no end of Teeth gnashing among professional politicians. Amy has come Back to Public View As a one  to the galloping apathy of today s Yuppie William f. Buckley Campus youth. Her contemporaries pore Over Stock tables agonize Over what car to buy Brood Over careers butter up their teachers. The Dow Jones Industrial aver age is their holy writ Money their holy grail. She of course would have less trouble making her Way in a world tha i already knows her. But she s one of the few teen agers on the scene trying o change it. She is also a throwback to her grandmother. Jimm Carter was equivocal about Many things As candidate and president seeking to fuzz the Sharp Edge of  was so anxious to be ambiguous thai he chose a Hawk to be his National Security adviser  and a Dove for his first Secretary of stale Cyrus Vance ensuring a duality of views. Unequivocal Amy is More like her paternal grand Mother the redoubtable Miz Lillian a woman of such character and conviction that at age 67, she packed up and Well to Indin for the peace corps. She ministered to lepers delivered babies and did no endow useful work. Miz Lillian minded Amy while her Mother and a incr Well of Flo seek the presidency. Miz Lillian said once i always Lod Jimmy never to worry atom what other people say Jusi do  the advice seems to have Tarcen with her grand daughter Amy Carter has been on the line for he beliefs for some time now previously she had been Arrivi a for participating in anti apartheid protests. He parents who Given the Choice might not wish Tosee their daughter being thrown to the ground by the police from time to Lime and being led away in hand cuffs have expressed support. Says Amy of her parents showing that Jimmy Carter hits not completely shed the habit of hyperbole they were surprised we had accomplished this much and Oilen this far what they have accomplished is less Clear to others. Amy Carter can t Rouse her torpid Peers fro their self absorption and . Support for the War in Nicaragua continues. What people like about Amy Carter is that a least she is trying in an Era when most americans Are Content to Register their discontent with bad policies at the polls. La unto Wal prexy syn Kilb handing Linnet to soviets was t the answer Karl Annas has been deported to Estonia in the soviet Union. The hang Over is noticeable and in is definitely of the kind for who i taking a hair of the hound is prescribed. If we Deport a Sec Ond a third a fourth sometime naturalized american to the soviet Union to be executed the sensibilities Are progressively abraded. Whal is it let us assume that Linnas is guilty of everything alleged about him thai he was a willing executioner of go Nodal policies in Estonia when the nazis were in control there in 1943. Why does t it follow then thai the . Government has done the right thing by . Tradition there is no punish ment for a Post Facto Laws it is remember a pan of the Constitution. The con Cepl of a War crime is perhaps old but it was not acted on until Nuernberg. And doubts persist about what we did there which was first to define a War of a Groin. And then to execute people found guilty of it. Mat they were guilty of crimes deserving he fire we do not doubt. But there was a smell Iacre of victors jul Isicc. That smell was the More noisome for looking Ai the my uni that passed sen tence. Yes England and France and the United slates had judges there. But so did the soviet Union. Now this is no Small paint. In pure theory a judge who is himself a murderer can reason logically that someone brought before him is or is not a murderer depending on the evidence. But collaboration with such a judge is some thing no self respecting person is inclined to do. It is not me cry a matter of etiquette it has to do with one s part in subverting the majesty of the Law. The soviet judges in Nuernberg were docile and probably sycophantic agents of Josef Stalin. It was Seiafin who signed the pact with Hitler in i939 and with Hitler colluded Over the division of Eastern Europe into nazi and soviet hands. In the course of All of that Stalin killed More people than Linnas in his lifetime Ever Laid eyes on. Nuernberg is forever tainted by our willingness to try the nazis jointly with the soviets. Robert Taft s objections to those proceedings were celebrated by Young John f. Kennedy in the Book thai won him inc pulitzer prize tall was a profile in courage. As the result of a bureaucratic tangle we now Send Linnas remember he is guilty in the postulation of this analysis to Estonia which was once a free slate but which is now a conquered territory of the soviet Union. There Linnas has already been tried in absent a and sentenced to death. In doing this we Yel again ratify soviet control Over Estonia and we Wash our hands of Linnas and with apparent serenity assume thai the same people who routinely kill for political reasons will kill Linnas. Not because the soviet slate has any objections to the conduct of nazi monsters but because it suits the soviet purpose to publicize a i Clivious difference Between the conduct of the soviet Camp keepers and their nazi counterparts. Whal might the United states have done we could t try Linnas Here All the witnesses Are estonian and there in t a Chance he d have been found guilty applying the code of protections we insist upon before declaring a Man to be guilty. And yet Linnas certainly lied his Way into . Citizenship. Well that we could Cope with and did. We tried him and took his citizenship away from him. Bui the problems weren t solved How could we proceed to Deport him to another country than the soviet Union when no other country could be persuaded to receive hint there is the alternative of amnesty. The other night "60 minutes featured a texan Strangler rapist who had terrorized the City of Austin Texas before being caught. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison which would seem to bean emphatic statement about where he belonged for the rest of his life. Seven and a half years later the parole Board let him go and he Well to Houston and began 10 rape and strangle and kept at in until he was caught. We Are a strange culture willing in effect to forgive and to be Loose some one whose blood lust is by no Means sated. Linnas stopped killing after he ten Estonia and if we viewed his life Here As probationary he did not go on to molest anyone. Is amnesty after 40 years of Good behaviour appropriate in such abase if not what Allan Ryan the prosecutor of Linnas Sayi he think there May be As Many As 10,000 such people in America former nazis who fled from Germany after the War. They Are All on social Security by now. Whynot Slick them on some Island nto be in the Florida keys let them receive their checks there and die there
