...Gestapo Ghost...
...witnesses in a Chicago court said they had seen Franciszek Walus beat and murder Jewish residents of Kielce and Czestochowa while serving as a Gestapo agent from 1939 to 1943. Though Walus, a Polish emigré, insisted that he spent those years on labor farms in Germany, Federal Judge Julius Hoffman, 85 (who presided at the Chicago Seven trial in 1969), ruled that he had won citizenship by hiding his Nazi past.

They were imprisoned last week while a higher court heard their appeals...

I stayed happily hippie until my running battle with the Nixon-bolstered American Gestapo (the DEA) took a turn for the worse. Watergate was distracting; but as the Mountie told the renegade Eskimo in The Savage Innocents,men forget and men die, but The Book doesn't. Too, my father's passing made the nation's economic problems one of my concerns. It got involved in politics with...
