...Josef Mengele, 61, whom Anne Frank called the "angel of extermination," became notorious for his medical experiments at Auschwitz. It was he who separated those who would go to the gas chamber from those who would go to labor camps. Mengele slipped through the hands of the Allies after the war and lived in relative peace in his home town of Günzburg, Bavaria, until 1953, when hints of his crimes began to surface. He fled to Argentina and openly practiced medicine in Buenos Aires. In 1959, when the West German government obtained an indictment and moved to extradite...
Mozart, Violin Concertos Nos. 1 to 5, Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola, K. 364 (and other works) (David Oistrakh, soloist and conductor, Berlin Philharmonic; Angel, 4 LPs, $23.92). The riddle of the Sphinx is nothing compared with the mystery of Mozart interpretation. How else explain the existence of so many otherwise great men of music (Horowitz, Stokowski, to name but two) among the ranks of failed Mozarteans? David Oistrakh is emphatically not one of them.

Chevalier to an office secretary who moonlighted as an "angel maker," as the French call an abortionist. Although the secretary charged only $300, she did the job so badly that Marie-Claire hemorrhaged and was taken to a hospital...
...Marie-Claire's 19-year-old seducer-whose own mother described him as "not very attractive." and really interested only in motorcycles-said all too much. Arrested on a theft charge, he started talking about Marie-Claire. The authorities indicted her, her mother, the two friends and the angel maker. All France settled back to cluck over the trial...
...groups marched outside the courtroom in the suburb of Bobigny until police broke up the demonstrations with nightsticks. The court acquitted Marie-Claire because she had been subjected to such "moral, social and material pressures" that she had no other choice. But the authorities continued the prosecution of the angel maker and of the other women as accomplices. The defense responded by attacking France's anti-abortion law, which forbids the operation except to save a woman's life. Nobel-prizewinning Biochemist Jacques Monod testified that, in his opinion, a fetus only a few weeks old could...
