...Leni Riefenstahl: A Memoir by Leni Riefenstahl. At 91, the former actress and filmmaker has a lot to remember. Her Late Romantic style won raves from Hitler and invitations to his mountain lair. She glorified the New Order with striking films about the 1934 Nazi Party Congress and the 1936 Olympic Games. Whether one regards her as indomitable or abominable, Riefenstahl has written a vivid memoir of intimacies in an amoral time...
...Human Embryos Cloned Two U.S. researchers made copies of human embryos and nurtured them in a Petri dish for several days. The project was not the ''cloning'' of a Hitler or a Michael Jordan that ethicists and science-fiction writers had fantasized about, but it was close enough to launch a worldwide debate over whether science had finally gone...

Silberbauer readily admitted his role. Asked if he had read the diary, he told a reporter: 'Bought the little book last...
...seemed to be an apprenticeship and nothing is done entirely seriously." Di Natale's apprenticeship as a writer is entirely serious. Her second novel, Il Giardino del Luppolo (The Hop Garden), published last year in Italy, is about a young German in the 1920s who has hallucinatory premonitions of Hitler's rise. This month comes her latest, L'Ombre del Cerro (Shadow of the Turkey Oak), about two friends struggling to survive the wartime chaos of a country Di Natale once knew: Italy. For her - as for Kaja and millions of others in this rootless, globalized age - the search...
