The video event was not especially convincing. Footage purporting to show that the Sakharovs are healthy, indeed prospering, had apparently been taken months ago. The tape had been spliced in many places, and relatives who are now in the West recognized at least...
Support for that notion seemed to come from photos of Sakharov and his wife Yelena Bonner that appeared in the West German tabloid Bild Zeitung on the eve of Mitterrand's visit.

Irving, a Hitler biographer with professed "ultrarightist" political views, conceded he had been hired as a consultant by another publication, Bild am Sonntag (circ. 2.6 million...
...exploitation of common laborers, for which he has become a working-class hero and crusader for socialism. To further this cause, Wallraff infiltrates not only the government, but also industry, political and religious organizations. In his most celebrated case, he exposed fraudulent articles printed in the establishment newspaper Bild, an arm of the powerful Springer press...
