Beate's first encounter with German authorities came in 1968, when she was arrested for slapping then Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger, an exonerated onetime member of the Nazi Party. Though Beate was tried and sentenced to a year's imprisonment (later changed to probation), her hatred of Nazis grew even greater. She and her law-student husband, whose father died at Auschwitz, began to compile dossiers on unpunished German war criminals. In 1971, Beate launched almost singlehanded a campaign to catch and arrest "the Butcher of Lyon," ex-SS Captain Klaus Barbie, who had fled to Peru, then Bolivia...
...night interrupted and killed three programs-one on each network-dealing with touchy subjects of dissidence. The networks showed what they had received, including the dramatic moment when the picture went black. "It was better journalism than anything we could have sent out," said NBC's John Chancellor.

(Walters modestly denies veto power, though she adds: "I have talked some with Dick Wald and Herb Schlosser.") Today's trials are nearly over. Researchers are currently conducting viewer surveys...
Show of Unity. Later, Nixon held court at the residence of the U.S. ambassador, seeing at hourly intervals West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Italian Premier Mariano Rumor. France's new President, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, did not attend the NATO meeting; he remained in Paris to conclude a $5 billion trade deal with Iran (see THE WORLD). The Europeans were happy-if matter-of-factly realistic-about the Brussels session. The U.S. got a public show of Atlantic unity before Moscow, and the allies got both a continued commitment that U.S. troops...
