Books: No Better? No Worse?

EICHMANN IN JERUSALEM (275 pp.)—Hannah Arendt—Viking ($5.50).
As an executioner, Adolf Eichmann was a flop. He got queasy at the sight of corpses, and when a fellow Nazi invited him to peep at some Jews being gassed in a truck, he ran away in terror. “If today I am shown a gaping wound,” he declared, “I can’t possibly look at it. I am that type of person.”
Reassessing the trial of Adolf Eichmann in her own original fashion (in a book first serialized in The New Yorker), Political Philosopher Hannah Arendt cites these and other facts and concludes that Eichmann’s version of his role in the murder of 5,000,000 Jews was closer to the truth than the Israeli prosecution’s.

“Evil” is wrapping up filming on Season 4 earlier than anticipated. After the set faced disruptions by picketing Writers Guild members on Friday, the Paramount+ series is now seeing a cast member take a leave of absence due to a personal family matter. As a result, production has wrapped early on the next season.
A source close to the series would only confirm that the early end to filming was a result of the unnamed actor’s temporary exit from the show.
