...Hammer's memoir of his 88 tumultuous years begins near the end, with accounts of his part in 1986 negotiations to clear the way for U.S. physicians to help Chernobyl's victims, and then in freeing hostage U.S. Journalist Nicholas Daniloff and a would-be Soviet emigre, Geneticist David Goldfarb.

Several escapees, including the late Avraham Goldfarb, have said that Ivan was among them. Last week, however, Prosecution Witness Yitzhak Arad, the director of Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, testified that Goldfarb had not seen Ivan's body and that he himself had been unable to verify Ivan's death...
