DIED. Heinz Linge, 67, Adolf Hitler's valet, an SS officer who claimed to be the last person to have seen the Führer and his new wife Eva Braun before their suicide in a Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945; of a heart attack; in Hamburg, West Germany. Linge denied Moscow's story that Hitler had dispatched himself with cyanide, maintaining that he used a pistol. Was Adolf mad in his final days? Never, the faithful servant Insisted; he killed himself only for the quite rational reason that "everything was hopeless...
...security considerations. The new Swedish embassy in Cairo is a forbidding concrete structure with a single street entrance, narrow slits for windows, and a protected inner courtyard backing on the Nile?for quick escape by boat if necessary.

A council whose members include former New Hampshire Gov. Meldrim Thompson and Bunker Hunt, of the Texas oil family, raised and administer an 58 million budget that has not changed in about five years. The latest major project is something called TRIM, Tax Reform Immediately, an organization of local pamphleteers who rate their congressman by his stands on raising taxes. Far from extremist, TRIM fits right into...
...Monday move was intended to cool speculation, as well as prevent what market analysts suspect might be an attempt by a small number of ultrarich investors, operating anonymously through foreign banks, to "corner" the world market for silver. One much mentioned speculator in this context is Dallas Megamillionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt, though he insists that he has no such intention. The corner would occur if the investors could buy so many silver future delivery contracts that they would wind up with enough of the metal this March to manipulate world prices...
