...Nazi regime Rauff fled Germany and went to Chile. He lived in Porvenir, Chile's southernmost town, on the island of Tierra del Fuego. He managed to remain in comparative anonymity and still accumulate substantial wealth, through his ownership of a medium-sized factory. Rauff made no effort to conceal his identity, relying instead on the good graces of the Chilean government, which refused to honor a West German request for his extradition in 1963. (Chile has a fifteen year statute of limitations on prosecution of crimes, and the pre-Allende governments saw no reason not to apply this...

Sirica into technical errors that could lead to a successful appeal of any conviction...

He has been a cannabis aficionado for the past 15 years, sampled LSD, and taken some snorts of cocaine. None of that is very unusual, especially in high-living Hollywood circles. Jack evidently can handle it; several friends speak of his basically controlled, "non-addictive personality." His long-standing romantic relationships (with Model Mimi Machu, with Singer Michelle Phillips) ended stormily, with...
