Alarmed editorial employees of the magazine gathered in Stern's modern concrete office building in Hamburg. They grilled their top executives about the source of the diaries during a tease two-hour meeeting. "First we publish, then we authenticate!" protested one angry journalist. The magazine's editorial board relented slightly, ordering that some of the volumes be sent to experts at WestGermany's Federal Archives in Coblenz...
...Ringo's parts in the studio. Epstein agonized over a merchandising deal that lost the Beatles millions, but Lennon consoled himself with cash delivered by concert promoters in brown paper bags. Epstein took 25%, and the band got the rest. As young, hungry rockers playing in Hamburg, West Germany, the Beatles contracted, and were cured of, any number of venereal diseases. Later, rich and famous beyond anyone's wildest imaginings, they would become infected with incurable jealousy and suspicion, some of which was well founded. The final blow, Brown writes, came in one of those stultifying board meetings...
...Stern: HITLER'S DIARIES DISCOVERED. To trumpet its acquisition of 62 volumes dated from 1932 to 1945, the entire span of Hitler's Third Reich, Stern (circ. 1.87 million) summoned more than 200 print and television reporters from around the world to its art deco headquarters in Hamburg.

Irving, a Hitler biographer with professed "ultrarightist" political views, conceded he had been hired as a consultant by another publication, Bild am Sonntag (circ. 2.6 million...
...Stern in 1951, just three years after it was founded. A photographer turned self-styled investigative reporter, Heidemann found the reclusive mystery writer B. Traven (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre) in Mexico and former Gestapo Official Klaus Barbie in Bolivia. But he is far from a star in Hamburg, West Germany's de facto journalistic capital. Says one fellow reporter: "He is a perfectly ordinary reporter, perhaps a little gullible but otherwise bland." Heidemann has one colorful trait: a passion for Nazi memorabilia. He sold his house in Hamburg a decade ago to buy a yacht that formerly...
