...Kenneth Rush, 62, Nixon's onetime law professor, was named to the No. 2 spot, Under Secretary. Credited with the biggest role in negotiating the Berlin accords last summer, Rush served for a few months as Deputy Secretary of Defense...
Franco's isolation ended after the Berlin blockade persuaded the U.S. that Spain was essential for the defense of Western Europe. In 1953 John Foster Dulles drew up a pact providing $85 million in economic aid and $141 million in military aid in exchange for U.S. air and naval bases in Spain. It was the high point of Franco's long career. "The West needs us in the fight against Communism," he boasted to a Falange meeting in Madrid...
...hunters of heads or headlines, no war criminal has been a more tantalizing quarry than Adolf Hitler's evil aide Martin Bormann. Since he vanished from Hitler's Berlin bunker the night after the Führer committed suicide in 1945, Bormann has been reported found hundreds of times: living as a recluse in the Amazon jungle, for instance, or masquerading as a monk in Italy.

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. His playing (that curvaceous tone especially) has a touch of the romantic, but not enough to tarnish the piquant bloom of youth that imbues...
