While still eager to catch such big fish as Martin Bormann, Hitler's top deputy, and Heinrich Müller, a boss of the Gestapo, who are repeatedly rumored to be alive in hiding, Bonn claims that an extension of the statute would mainly net unimportant minnows at home, and overburden prosecutors who find it harder and harder to prove specific charges after 20 years. As one official puts it: "If you want to bring to court every railroad man who pulled the switches at Auschwitz, knowing that the trains were carrying Jews to their deaths, there will...
...back of his Black Hawks uniform. Gathering it in at full speed, Bobby Hull rocketed down the rink. At the blue line, a Boston defenseman unlimbered a vicious body check. Almost casually, Hull bounced the defenseman aside, leaned forward, and flicked the puck straight into the Boston net.

While assiduously courting the rural shepherds and woodsmen, it does not overlook the city folk, either at home or abroad. In the heart of Stockholm, it has for the past two years been bulldozing away hills and laying girders for an eleven-story stone...
...prospects of a merry Christmas are far from bright. In Wednesday's 9-2 collapse against Brown, Harvard's defense was just about non-existent. Time after time Bruin forwards, Jeff unguarded in front of the Crimson net, scored by picking up a loose puck which the defense couldn't clear...
