...Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, for claiming that Waldheim had been "part and parcel" of the Nazi machine. Still awaiting final review of his case, although he was given the death penalty in absentia, is Karl Linnas, 67, the first naturalized American to be stripped of his citizenship and turned over to Soviet authorities for Nazi crimes. More will doubtless follow. The cases of nearly 30 other U.S. immigrants suspected of having lied about their wartime activities are pending at the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations...
...worked in the U.S. since 1981 to apply for status as permanent residents. In theory it will make it possible for as many as half of the nation's estimated 3 million to 5 million illegal immigrants to emerge from their shadowy half-lives into the sunlight of citizenship...
When Americans travel abroad, they take with them a cherished link with their homeland: their passport. Soon, however, even that symbol of citizenship will not be all-American. The Government Printing Office disclosed last week that when it sought bids for a new machine to produce passports, only two firms responded. One was Japanese, the other West German.

The U.S. Supreme Court will shortly decide whether to block his deportation temporarily. If it refuses to do so, Linnas, 67, will probably soon be on a plane to the U.S.S.R. There...
...Cooperation in such cases between the U.S. and the Soviet Union began in the early 1970s. In 1979 the Justice Department established a Nazi-hunting branch, the Office of Special Investigations; since then 23 naturalized Americans have been stripped of their citizenship and 13 removed from the U.S. Some 600 more cases are under investigation. Soviet-supplied evidence, including video-taped eyewitness testimony and wartime documents seized by advancing Soviet forces, has played some part in a majority of the cases that have come to court in the U.S., including that of John Demjanjuk, the retired autoworker from Cleveland...
