...Haus Wahnfried, 1914-1975, which premiered in Paris recently. Her basic message: anybody who thinks that Hitler was cruel, malevolent and even megalomaniacal is mistaken about his "good and human" nature. He was the sort of man, she recalls, who could be tempted into cheating on his vegetarian diet with liver dumplings. As Winni tells it, der Führer had "immensely appealing" eyes, played the piano "very nicely," and was "really touching with the children...
...joined two scientists in the 16-ft. hydrolab operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Apart from a malfunction that sent the lab's temperature soaring to 90° at one point, the amateur aquanauts had little trouble adjusting to their watery environment, or to their spartan diet of soup, fruit, peanut butter and crackers.

...attacks each year. Japanese men have one of the world's lowest heart-disease rates; coronaries yearly claim only 92 out of every 100,000 of the country's males.

Even those who indulge in high-fat diets suffer fewer coronaries than their American counterparts. But those...
Readers of the Harvard Business Review are normally fed a strict diet of numbingly staid articles on management techniques and policies. In the current issue, however, they were served a shockingly unbusinesslike change of pace: the "Embezzler's Guide to the Computer," a 6,800-word how-to-steal article that details the ins and outs of swindling banks and corporations by tampering with their computers. Written by University of Virginia Professor Brandt Allen, a consultant to the FBI on computer fraud, "Embezzler's Guide" offers aspiring thieves encouragement ("There is a great deal of embezzlement that goes...
