...BERNAYS, 103, public relations pioneer; in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Bernays, the Thomas Edison of American p.r., actually promoted Thomas Edison in the course of a long career that began in earnest when Bernays set up shop in 1919. Now regarded as the virtual inventor of modern public relations, he promoted Enrico Caruso, Ivory soap, Henry Ford, World War I, hairnets, various projects for every President from Coolidge to Eisenhower, the color green (at the request of Lucky Strike cigarettes, concerned that women were resisting the green packaging because it clashed with their clothes) and Time Inc. Along the way, Bernays developed...
...after Genoa supporter Vincenzo Spagnolo was knifed to death the previous Sunday in a brawl before his team's game against Milan. Though Milan booster Simone Barbaglia, 18, has been charged with Spagnola's death, many Italians feel the crime typifies a nationwide trend of rising violence.

They were both decent guys...
...Enrico Caruso's sons was once asked whether his father sang for pleasure. "No," the young Caruso replied, "my father sang for money."

...Moscow the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service -- a successor to the agency that Beria once headed and Sudoplatov worked for -- put out a rare public disclaimer. Sudoplatov's "allegations ((about)) Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard, Robert Oppenheimer," it said, "do not correspond to reality." Oleg Tsarev of the same agency, an in-house expert on atomic spying, says, "Having seen the summary file ((on nuclear espionage)), I can tell you there are no such names as Sudoplatov mentions in it." He makes one tiny exception: "One of our sources had a discussion with someone who knew Oppenheimer in 1945." But the report...
Four weeks ago, we printed an excerpt from Special Tasks, the memoir of a Soviet spymaster published by Little, Brown. In it the principal author, Pavel Sudoplatov, charged that prominent scientists, including J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard, had knowingly made atomic secrets available to Soviet agents. Since publication of the book, many nuclear physicists and historians have raised serious questions about Sudoplatov's account. Our story on the controversy begins on page...
