...bitterly disappointed with the conclusions you reach. To admit Lindbergh's admiration for and connections with Hitler's Germany and Nazism, then to label this aviator "a great man" and "a hero," is a fantastic journalistic somersault. Physical courage (or foolhardiness) is not to be equated with intellectual maturity. And political imbecility does not create a hero in any democracy...
...delegate to the founding conference of Histadrut, Israel's powerful labor organization, which now controls some 47% of the economy. A congenial man who speaks six languages (Yiddish, Hebrew, German, Russian, English and French), he was a frequent shaliah (emissary) on fund-raising tours of Europe. When Hitler came to power, he spent three years in Berlin on a double mission: getting Jews out of Germany and smuggling arms to the underground Jewish army back home...
...Interpol started in 1923, when European police opened an information-swapping center in Vienna. After Hitler grabbed Austria in 1938, the Gestapo spirited the records to Berlin, where wartime bombing later destroyed them. In 1946, Interpol was reborn in Paris to combat postwar crime. It got a charter, a general assembly and a secretary-general-currently Jean Nepote, 52, a French Sûreté Nationale commissioner on leave. One-third of Nepote's 90-odd staffers are French detectives; most of his $500,000 annual budget is paid in dues by member countries-98 of them, from America...
...world-famous satirical magazine. Before World War I, it dabbed acid fun at Kaiser Wilhelm II, and for its lese majesty was frequently banned. It took on new teeth in the 1920s just in time to start potshotting at the rise of Nazism. One Simpl view of Hitler showed the top of his head lifted up to reveal a void within. "Isn't it strange," remarked the magazine, "that you can make such a lot of trouble with so little stuff?" It was not strange, of course, that such temerity resulted in another banning...
...Polish-descended Dortmund coal miner; only one year out of the Düsseldorfs liberal Academy of Fine Arts, he has already been represented in nine shows, become a collector's favorite. Tadeusz' teacher, Joseph Beuys, is also out of the ordinary. A onetime Hitler Youth and World War II Stuka pilot, Beuys has undergone a characteristic postwar metamorphosis to become Düsseldorfs reigning neo-Dada hero. He is celebrated for his Chaplinesque smile, battered Homburg, octopuslike drawings, sculptures made of chocolate and lard, for the splendiferous happenings that he used to stage and, above...
