I'll tell you what happened to him the hypocrite: he became a lawyer.
Maybe he should have killed himself instead. :-)
Whatever happened to the film *The Strawberry Statement?* I have never
been able to find it. I only saw it once on Italian TV, dubbed.

Not the same, my friend. Really not the same. Primo Levi, who
survived the holocaust, also took his life thirty years later. I believe
history is on the side of Benjamin&Levi, but not on the side of Metz--not
with the same degree of magnitude.
