...TIME Bonn Bureau, which played host to the visiting colleagues, the economic summit turned out to be an interlude in reporting on the Bitburg controversy. Bureau Chief William McWhirter interviewed government officials about the contretemps, as Correspondent John Kohan reported on a commemoration by U.S. Jews at the Dachau concentration camp and the official observances at Bergen-Belsen. The bureau's planning, together with that of dozens of staff members in New York, enabled TIME to have one of its latest closings ever, and to bring readers, only hours later, the dramatic events of the summit and Bitburg...

The research sought to find a way of making saltwater potable for pilots stranded at sea. In Eppinger's experiments, 44 gypsies were kept for up to a week on a diet consisting of sea water. Some were given seawater containing a chemical called berkatite, which disguised the salty taste. Though earlier research had shown that berkatite treatment was dangerous and ineffective, Eppinger had apparently insisted that further tests were needed. Prisoners became...
...eyeballs orange: "The only thing we worried about," she says, "was other women thinking we had dyed our hair." Evelyn Fraser, a former WAC captain in Europe, had more somber preoccupations: "The shocking thing was to walk s among Germans and see them as human beings, and then see Dachau. It was so difficult to put together...
