...first target was Franz Murer, "the Butcher of Wilno," under whose aegis the Jewish population of the Lithuanian town was reduced from 80,000 to 250. Wiesenthal found him quite by accident in 1947; the ex-SS commissar was living on his prewar farm near Linz. Alerted by Jewish ex-partisans that a big Nazi was in the neighborhood, Wiesenthal checked with the local gendarmery. "The post commander was an old man with a drooping white mustache, probably a relic from the good old Habsburg days. We asked about the big farm on the hill. 'Belongs to Murer...
Second Eichmann. Now jailed in Brasilia, Stangl, 58, will probably be shipped back to his native Austria. West Germany, as well, wants him to stand trial. He is charged with killing 30,000 infirm and mentally defective Germans and Austrians early in the war at Hartheim Palace, near Linz, which was used as a "training center" to prepare SS men for work in concentration camps. Later, as chief of the camps at Sobibor and Treblinka in Poland, he earned Wiesenthal's name for him: "the second Eichmann...
Whoever said the New York Yankees had hearts of flint? Infielder Phil Linz, 25, drew the wrath of management and a $200 fine for tootling a few off-key bars on his harmonica after a particularly galling loss to the White Sox last August.

That wasn't all. Linz is negotiating...

A single, a walk, a nifty double steal, bad throws by Shortstop Phil Linz, Second Baseman Richardson and Outfielder Mantle, and the score was 3-0, Cardinals. Out went Stottlemyre; in came Reliever Al Downing, who threw four pitches, one of them a ball. The others: a homer, a single, a double. Out went Downing; in came Rollie Sheldon...
...fired practically nothing but fastballs ("If they hit it, they hit it. If they don't, they don't") at the frenziedly swinging Yanks who tried everything-even throwing bats his way. Striking out nine, Gibson kept things barely interesting by feeding gopher balls to Mantle, Linz and Clete Boyer. Then with an eye for irony, he persuaded Bobby Richardson, the Yankees' leading hitter, to pop up for the last out. By a score of 7-5, the St. Louis Cardinals had their first world championship in 18 years. Pitcher Gibson had a new series record...
