...house in the affluent hillside community of Petropolis Park, outside Sao Paulo, a nervous Gitta Stammer, who had earlier come forward to support and supplement the Bossert account, told her story to TIME's Jacqueline Reditt.

Grove, 48, the son of a Hungarian dairyman, came to the U.S. in 1957. After working in research and development at Fairchild Camera & Instrument, he joined Intel (1984 sales: $1.6 billion) in 1968 shortly after it had been founded by two Fairchild alumni. He was named president in 1979. Despite his business success, Grove was always attracted to publishing. He has written a book on management and a textbook on semiconductors. His articles have also appeared in FORTUNE, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Last summer at a party during the Democratic Convention, Grove revealed to Mercury...
...recognition of improvements in that nation's emigration policy, some conservative members supported the move because they had been impressed by an unusual concession from the Communist regime.

It went on to sell some 3 million copies in eight languages. His second novel, which arrives in the U.S. trailing clouds of praise from England, Germany, Canada and Australia, may do just as well. True, the sex this time around is considerably muted. But moods have changed over...
Late last week Brazilian police unveiled more evidence, in the form of a deposition from a Hungarian-born woman who has lived in Brazil since 1948, to support the Bosserts' account. Gitta Stammer, 65, who with her husband Geza owned a small farm in southern Sao Paulo state, claimed that Mengele had lived with the couple for 13 years. According to her statement, in 1961 the Stammers were introduced by Wolfgang Gerhard to a man who called himself Peter Hochbichlet and who said he was Swiss. They gave him a job helping to administer their farm, and the man moved...
