...judge on Hitler's dreaded wartime People's Court, Hans-Joachim Rehse signed 231 death sentences. Last year a West German lower court sentenced Rehse, now 66, to five years in prison as an accessory to "legal murder." Plainly convinced that the sentence was far too light, the Federal Court in Karlsruhe ordered a retrial on the grounds that he was either wholly responsible or wholly innocent and should be sentenced accordingly.

...jump, best of Toomey's career, gave him another 994 points and kept him in the lead. After that, a poor 45-ft. Hin. shotput ("That really depressed me") and a disappointing 6-ft. 4¾-in. high jump dropped him to second behind East Germany's Joachim Kirst. Next came the grinding 400-meter run, and after ten straight hours of competition, Toomey somehow managed to sprint the distance in 45.6 sec.

To remedy the West's plight, and despite East and West Germans' conflicts over Berlin, Hannoverian Businessman Hans-Joachim Ermeler, 45, reached across the Iron Curtain and asked East Berlin's Trade Commission if it would be interested in shipping 60,000 fresh Brötchen over the border each morning. The East Germans were indeed: the deal will net the Communist regime some $250,000 a year in hard-currency...
