Since the Nurnberg trials, hundreds of former Nazi officers, soldiers, industrialists, physicians and other civilians have been convicted of war crimes in German courts. The Germans have just tracked down Treblinka Camp Commander Franz Stangl, who has been extradited from Brazil. They still have hopes of finding Josef Mengele, the camp doctor accused of experimenting on thousands of people at Auschwitz, and the biggest quarry of all, Hitler Deputy Martin Bormann. Yet the men who knowingly gave many of Hitler's acts their legal veneer, the Nazi judges, have escaped prosecution, claiming that they were simply upholding the laws...
...flagpole in the courtyard of the 13th century stone barn, the black, red and gold stripes of Germany flew above the red hammer and sickle of the Soviet Union. It was a tribute to German Baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, by all odds the world's finest lieder singer, who was to perform in the barn during the Touraine Festival in central France.

Ever since World War II, German Protestantism has been dominated intellectually by Demythologizer Rudolf Bultmann and the existentialist theologies of his Marburg disciples.

...Miller has had a number of celebrity cases in his practice. He claims to have cured Kirk Douglas' apricot poodle of "terribly regressive" characteristics, disposed of the "postman syndrome" in the dogs of Lauren Bacall and Anthony Franciosa, and erased the dominance frustration in Katharine Hepburn's German shepherd. He did not have much luck with a case of sibling rivalry in Bob Hope's dogs, but he blames that partly on the Hopes, who did not show up for most of the counseling sessions. But Miller says that he had enormous success with Governor Ronald Reagan...
...bulk comes from six-Ignis, Zanussi, Zoppas, In-desit, Candy and Castor. Using newer, more automated plants than their competitors, the Italians ignore Europe's traditional luxury market to concentrate on a high volume of low-cost models for prospering workers. They cut heavily into the German washing-machine market by offering $250 washers v. the $375 lowest price for German machines. When the Germans stripped down their luxury models and reduced prices to match, the Italians cut their price...
