...soon after returning to private practice, he was retained by the Swiss firm Interhandel to look after its interest in its U.S. subsidiary, General Aniline & Film. In 1942 GAF was confiscated by the U.S. Government because Interhandel was believed to be a front for the German cartel I.G. Farben. It was while the "little American" worked on this affair (in which he finally won a $150 million settlement) that Second Lieut. Inouye lost his right arm in Army combat in Europe. Among Wilson's other famous cases: a 1970 victory in the Supreme Court upholding Barry Goldwater...

In Stuttgart's eight-year-old Drei-Farben hostel, business is transacted only from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.-except on Sundays and holidays, when its 71 practitioners knit and watch television...

A research chemist with an accountant's nose for profits, President Wurster, 64, rose to the top of B.A.S.F. before the war and stayed on as president when the company was split off from Farben.
