And since Daddy was Nazi Reichsmarshal Hermann Goring, the city of Cologne thought it prudent to turn over the priceless painting. Daughter Edda Göring, now 29, has more or less owned the Madonna ever since, though last week she lost another round in her court fight to keep from returning the painting. Edda's lawyers have already slipped and dodged for 18 years, and she has two appeals left...
