Just how far does the Government plan to go in its roundup of insider traders? The distance, apparently. Until now, jittery Wall Streeters could take comfort that the targets would be largely the most flagrant, Ivan Boesky- like abusers. But that reassuring notion rapidly evaporated in the aftermath of the Government's arrest this month of three high-ranking Wall Street officials, two of whom had allegedly made insider-trading profits only for their firms, not for personal gain. The cases suggested that prosecutors plan to go after not just greedy mavericks but overzealous employees and the companies for whom...
...eastern Poland where at least 850,000 Jews were killed in 1942 and '43. It was Israel's first war-crimes trial since Adolf Eichmann was convicted and executed a quarter-century ago. At issue, however, was not the horrors committed at Treblinka by the Ukrainian guard known as "Ivan the Terrible" but whether he and Demjanjuk are the same...
...case is further complicated by uncertainty about the fate of the real- life "Ivan." Three of Treblinka's 100 or more Ukrainian guards were killed in an abortive uprising at the camp in August 1943. Several escapees, including the late Avraham Goldfarb, have said that Ivan was among them.

...three-judge tribunal in a converted movie theater in Jerusalem, is the reliability of human memory. Photographs, maps and records were all burned by the Germans after they razed Treblinka in late 1943. As many as a dozen survivors of Treblinka have previously been unable to identify Demjanjuk as Ivan from photographs. Nonetheless, the prosecution says, it will present five of the camp's survivors who are prepared to identify John Demjanjuk as the demonic killer. The first of these eyewitnesses is expected to testify this week...
...scandal was strong again on Wall Street, and it was rising higher in executive suites than ever before. For the first time prominent officers at some of the most prestigious investment banks were snared and handcuffed in the insider-trading investigation that has been gathering momentum since Arbitrager Ivan Boesky was nabbed last November and began cooperating with authorities. Wigton, Freeman and Tabor have not been shown to have had any direct dealings with Boesky, but they were trapped, almost by chance, in the widening network of information that the investigators were gathering. Their arrests seemed to confirm what many...
