Henry Grunwald's career reads like the script of a Frank Capra movie. At 15, he fled his native Vienna after the Anschluss swept Austria into Hitler's Reich. He honed his English in movie theaters while attending New York University and started at TIME as a copyboy. Now at retirement age, he is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Time Inc., only the third person in 64 years to hold this position...
...controversy that followed Hess's death seemed a fitting end to his enigmatic life. As Adolf Hitler's closest friend and the former deputy to the Fuhrer of the Third Reich, Hess was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Nuremberg trials in 1946. He remained Spandau's only inhabitant for more than two decades, after the last of his fellow Nazis was released from the 147-cell red-brick fortress...

The dogs, with names like Murder, Hitler and Scarface, wear metal-studded collars concealing crack and cocaine and the day's proceeds.

"It's a macho thing, like carrying a weapon," says Jane Alvaro of the Anti-Cruelty Society...
...Soviets have previously made similar accommodating noises that turned out to produce breathing spaces of a dismayingly short duration. Lenin used the concept of "coexistence" to justify taking Russia out of World War I. Stalin subscribed to the doctrine of "collective security" against Hitler in the 1930s and then secretly negotiated a pact with the Nazi dictator...
