...ensuing chaos, the ship's carpenter and a deckhand were seen floating face down in the water, both presumably dead. Captain Armin Elsaesser III frantically called out for a head count. Then he abruptly swam away, apparently in an attempt to find a missing crew member. He was not seen again...
When SPORTS ILLUSTRATED's annual swimsuit issue hit the newsstands in February, 19.5 million readers were captivated by the come-hither pose of Czech-born Model Paulina Porizkova, whose sea-green bikini accentuated all the right curves. Armin and Leah Gottlieb, however, had eyes only for her $50 lace-andLycra swimsuit, which was manufactured by their Israeli company, Gottex, a privately held family firm (1984 sales: $40 million) that is the leading exporter of fashion swimwear...
...Armin, 72, and Leah, 67, are refugees from Hungary. When World War II broke out, he was running a raincoat factory and she was preparing to study chemistry. He was eventually shipped off to a labor camp, while she lived in Budapest in hiding. In 1949 they arrived in a transit camp east of Tel Aviv with two small daughters and $100.

Finally they declare him "in better than good health-You're an Aryan! You can become a German." When Stani declines the honor, they...
DVORAK: Serenade for Strings, Op. 22; Czech Suite, Op. 39 (Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Armin Jordan, conductor; Erato). Dvořák is best known for his last three symphonies (including the inescapable "New World") and his omnipresent Cello Concerto, but many have long admired his smaller works. The Czech Suite brims with rustic high spirits−it includes a polka, a sousedka, or "neighbors' dance," and a dashing furiant−while the Serenade for Strings is a five-movement study in country-squire elegance. Jordan, a Swiss conductor who came to general attention leading the score...
