...While the CIA was in the process of being established, the Army was faced with the daunting task of assembling an effective ring of European informants to spy on Germany as well as on the Soviets and the other occupying powers. For help, the Army turned to veterans of Hitler's police and intelligence services, like Barbie, whom the CIC placed in a safe house in Augsburg in Bavaria. Barbie then set up a valuable network of informers who infiltrated Soviet and French intelligence operations and the German Communist Party...
...left is Stern, which is both the most widely read of West Germany's four major pictorial magazines and the only one with serious, if erratic, journalistic ambitions.

...Peking, Chinese officials privately describe Yao's book as "silly." In the U.S., Chinese embassy officials have gone even further, denouncing the account as "more ridiculous than Hitler's diaries." Curiously, Peking's diplomatic community has shied away from discussions of the book even in private. But the credibility of conspiracy theories cuts two ways: until Peking produces a more satisfactory account of the affair than it has so far offered, accounts like Yao Ming-Le's will continue to draw speculators...
