Eichmann Hanged Amid Global Fallout and Controversy
The report chronicles Adolf Eichmann’s execution by hanging in Tel Aviv after Israel’s Supreme Court rejected clemency. It notes the lone Protestant minister present, Rev. William Hull, Eichmann’s final walk, and government statements confirming death at 11:58 p.m. The piece traces Ben Zion Ben-Zvi’s decision, lingering appeals, and the international reaction to Israel’s first capital punishment in 14 years.

Storm blasts through Washington area with injuries and outages
Blast Riggleman said he had just finished taking down lights in side the tunnel when the explosion occurred some 75 feet away. Hospital attendants said all the injured suffered assorted cuts from flying debris and Tayne's ribs were fractured and he was injured internally. Cochran suffered an arm fracture. The storm, starting in late afternoon and accompanied by gusty winds, dropped more than an inch of rain in Washington and neighboring areas over two hours. Traffic on highways snarled and power failures cut communities from Rockville to Prince Georges County, Md. More than two dozen transmission lines were snapped by falling tree limbs. The lightning struck two homes in Beltsville, Md., but injured no one and did little damage. In Kensington, Md., a bolt knocked most of a chimney from a house at 3615 Dawson Ave, with police reporting a string of auto accidents, mostly due to poor visibility.
