...charges against Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards, 58, and seven of his associates, including a brother and a nephew, fill 53 pages crammed with 50 counts of racketeering, fraud and obstruction of justice. U.S. District Judge Marcel Livaudais Jr. needed one hour and 15 minutes just to read the allegations in New Orleans last week. All told, the trial could go on for two months and entail the examination of up to 80 witnesses. Even before the proceedings began, each of the jurors was sandbagged with five fat folders, 2 in. to 3 in. thick and packed with pertinent documents...
...sentence for embezzling $165,000 as a nonworking "ghost employee" of Teamsters Union Local 507 in Cleveland, and nursing a powerful grievance. He was only "the fall guy," Friedman protested. The real culprit, he said, was Local 507's secretary-treasurer, Jackie Presser, who happens to be Friedman's nephew as well as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the nation's largest labor union, with 2 million members...

FBI agents testified that John Walker then urged his brother to get a job "where...
...days later, the Mengeles divulged a few more details. Dieter, the nephew of the Auschwitz doctor and one of the partners in the Mengele company, explained that the family had kept silent on the case for so many years in order to protect Josef's friends. The same day, Rolf handed over, free of charge, photographic and written material on Mengele, after his escape from Germany, to the weekly magazine Bunte Illustrierte. The magazine's current issue carries the first installment of an article in which Rolf explains that while he had ideological differences with his father, he sympathized with...
Those who had run across the man in his final years in Sao Paulo described him as lonely; he received visits only occasionally, from a son whom he introduced as a nephew and from a family emissary, apparently Hans Sedlmeier, the Mengele firm clerk. Pedro got no mail, kept no telephone and maintained no bank accounts. He slept with a Mauser pistol by his bedside, according to some reports; often he had difficulty getting to sleep and read or wrote deep into the night...
