...blacks, one Asian and one Jew were among potential jurors but were eliminated. Potential jurors were asked if they were Jewish, or had sympathies for anti- black, anti-Jewish or tax-protest groups. They were also asked if they could be fair to defendants who may not believe the Holocaust occurred. The Government hopes the trial will bring to fruition its fight against radical neo-Nazi hate groups. The drive was launched last year when authorities uncovered evidence (confirmed by the two witnesses heard before the trial recessed at week's end) that the Order had begun acting...
...AIDS suits the style of the late 20th century. In possibly overheated fears, it becomes a death-dealing absolute loose in the world. Westerners for some years have consolidated their dreads, reposing them (if that is the word) in the Bomb, in the one overriding horror of nuclear holocaust. A fat and prosperous West is lounging next door to its great kaboom. It is both smug and edgy at the same time. Now comes another agent of doomsday, this one actually killing people and doubling the number of its victims every ten months as if to reverse the logic...
...ultimate challenge: With suffering and death so vast, whom to rescue and whom to mend? Where to erect the police barricades? Theirs is not so much a fascination with disaster as it is a half-religious, half-martial hankering to see what they can do to help. Nuclear holocaust would be too big to handle.

They really won't think about it. But a fire, a flood, a tornado . . . Well," he said...

For many Germans, Mengele, a top physician at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland, embodies a dark past they are hoping at last to exorcise and bury. By the same token, the Mengele hunters and the survivors of the Holocaust, in which some 10 million people were killed, have mixed feelings about the possibility that Mengele has been finally laid to rest. That prospect, says Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, brings "a sad sense of relief." If Mengele is gone, he will never...
...hard news, interviews and weather but featurish pieces on everything from heart disease to tips for keeping children happy on car trips. What these programs do best is live exchanges with two or three people on different sides of an emotional issue. Good Morning America, for example, recently paired Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel and Conservative Columnist John Lofton; when Lofton criticized Wiesel for not speaking out against other atrocities, Wiesel's blunt rebuttal ("How dare you, really") made for affecting television...
