...games, may have taken inspiration from legendary, real-life Soviet master-spy Alexander Feklisov, the cold-war operative who ran some of the KGB's deadliest spies in the West. Feklisov's recruits included Julius Rosenberg, widely believed to have provided information on the Manhattan Project, and German scientist Klaus Fuchs, who had worked at the Los Alamos lab. Feklisov was pivotal in his country's acquisition of the nuclear bomb, first exploded in 1949, some five years before U.S. agents expected...
What makes the issue trickier is that there's often a fine line between assisted and unassisted playing. When Klaus Schaloske, a retired schoolteacher from Ontario, takes a backswing with his left arm--from a right-handed stance--the stump of his missing right arm grazes the club.

Kevin Macdonald's My Enemy's Enemy considers the life and crimes of Nazi butcher Klaus Barbie. Barbet Schroeder's Terror's Advocate is a fascinatingly equivocal study of Jacques Vergès, who defended Barbie and many of last century's most notorious figures...
...mental institutions, as the star of The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser and Stroszek. When Nicholson backed out of Fitzcarraldo, Herzog got Jason Robards, who contracted amoebic dysentery and was forced to quit the shoot. (Mick Jagger, another member of the cast, also had to leave.) Herzog wound up with Klaus Kinski, an actor so extreme and unruly, he was his own volcano. They made five films together; Herzog's memoir movie about Kinski is called My Best Fiend...
