...Adolf Galland, a fearless, cigar-chomping flyer, was the youngest major general in German history. He learned to fly a glider in the post-Versailles days when the Germans were forbidden an air force. He learned to fight as a member of the German "volunteer" Condor Legion in Spain, came home a squadron leader. In 1942, after three years of World War II, Fighter Pilot Galland was 30, a major general, a top-ranking ace, and inspector general of the Luftwaffe fighter command. After his 94th kill, Hitler personally hung the diamond-studded Knight's Cross around Galland...

Last week the German High Federal Court at Karlsruhe ruled that Nordhoff...
...Stockholm, Sweden's King Gustaf VI Adolf handed out four Nobel Prizes (cash value: $35,066 apiece) to five Americans and two Germans. The prize for physics went to German Professors Max Born and Walter Bothe (who was ailing in a West German hospital). To a three-man polio research team-Cleveland's Dr. Frederick Robbins, Harvard's Drs. John F. Enders and Thomas H. Weller-the King presented the award for medicine. The California Institute of Technology's Dr. Linus Pauling was on hand to get the prize for chemistry, heard himself praised for working...
