...then, in the early 1990s, Furrow was drawn into a club that was perfect for someone who had never really fit anywhere else. He joined the Aryan Nations, an organization of neo-Nazi white supremacists founded in the mid-1970s by former aeronautical engineer Richard Butler near Hayden Lake, Idaho. Butler based the group on the religious doctrine of Christian Identity, established in Los Angeles in the late 1940s by an anti-Semitic rabble rouser named Wesley Swift. Christian Identity holds that white Aryans are the authentic lost tribes of Israel, the true descendants of Adam and Eve. Jews...
...Displaying the sort of gritty determination that had won international fame for Dimitrov himself in 1933 - when he?d faced down Nazi prosecutors after being falsely accused of burning down the German parliament - the government?s demolition team scheduled a third attempt on Sunday evening, this time using 600 pounds of Ammonite, a more potent explosive.

Since then, Draskovic has played a different game, shifting in and out of opposition. Just before NATO bombs began falling, he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Yugoslavia and became a ubiquitous apologist for his country. But in April, after criticizing Milosevic's policies in Kosovo, he was fired...
...artists. In A Selection, which debuted in New York City recently, the members of Pilobolus team up with children's authors Maurice Sendak and Arthur Yorinks to compress the ultimate nightmare into an indelibly fearful fable about a troupe of traveling players who miss the last train out of Nazi Germany. Otis Cook gives the performance of a lifetime as a lewdly smirking stranger dressed in death-camp gray who meets them at the station. The music is by Hans Krasa and Pavel Haas, two composers who died in Auschwitz; and the set, by Sendak, has the jarring simplicity...
