...Agfacolor stock, shot mainly by Eva Braun and her friends, of the Führer and his court relaxing (if that is the word) in his mountain retreat at Obersalzberg. The film had been lying un noticed in the U.S. Marine archives in Washington since 1946. Only a fraction of it was usable, partly because Eva Braun had a dumb love of mountain views, and expended miles of film in slow, jiggly pans across the misty peaks. What remains is the only off-the-record view that exists of Hitler's home life, and it lends Swastika an extraordinary...
...company's revenues rose from $27.8 million in 1969 to $78.8 million in 1972. The year 1971, however, was bad: though sales rose to $60.3 million, from $37.5 million in 1970, the company showed a loss of $4,000,000. Gow explains that although only a small fraction of Stratford's income stems from oil, a blowout in one of its natural gas wells cost the company $6,000,000. The company's stock sells these days at about $7 per share, eight times earnings, which is roughly on a par with companies like Ford and Bethlehem...

...American School of Oriental Research, recalls how in the Middle East he met "the son of an Iranian government official with a suitcase full of ancient works of art," which he was selling to defray his university expenses. Turkey has some 3,000 archaeological sites, of which only a fraction have been excavated by trained and government-sanctioned archaeological teams. The rest are simply raped. Even the official digs are ill-protected by a skeleton force of guards, who are paid an average $50 per month-not a salary likely to attract qualified men capable of thwarting organized robbers like...
This winter Annemarie has not only made the competition nervous, but she has nearly demolished it. Her friends call her style "brutal." She stays in her patented crouch through her entire run. More prudent racers straighten up from time to time-at the cost of a fraction of a second-as emergencies dictate. Proell disdains such caution and her total abandon has already won her two World Cups. She is assured of a third before the spring thaw. This season she won all eight women's downhill races, becoming the world's first skier-male or female...
