...INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE got between the royal blue covers of Robert B. Reich's long-awaited The Next American Frontier before those covers ever materialized. In fact, the galleys to the book were one of the hottest items in Washington, D.C. this spring as policy makers and politicians scrambled to read Dr. Reich's prescription for the ailing U.S. economy. Now the general public has finally gotten its crack at an enlightening work which urges a dramatic change of direction for the role of U.S. business, labor and government towards more advanced industries and a more flexible labor system...
...Reich's analysis of America's industrial problems is biting, and his suggestions for changes are imaginative. But as with many public policy theories, the main question is: Will it play on the Potomac? And although Walter Mondale calls The Next American Frontier "one of the most important works of the decade," his buddies in organized labor are not altogether thrilled with Reich's high-tech heaven. A public policy theorist wants his plans implemented, but Reich does not leave enough room for natural compromise. While he might think that America needs "a new consensus" to address these problems, such...
Though Heidemann's Hitler diaries have proved to be the most audacious of all the Third Reich forgeries so far, other major scams have often bemused or confounded the experts. The first large-scale postwar forgery surfaced in 1947: a diary allegedly kept by Eva Braun during her affair with Hitler. According to Maser, Trenker, of the authors turned out to be a prominent film actor, Luis Trenker, who had known Braun. Right-wing Author David Irving ruefully recalls that in 1973 he nearly bought diaries purportedly written by Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Nazi Germany's chief of military...
Charles Hamilton, the U.S.'s largest dealer in Nazi mementos, spots one or two fakes a month among the thousands of Third Reich items he handles every year. Many are signed photos of Hitler, which, if genuine, are worth from $350 to $ 1,000 to collectors. Such photo forgeries are often simple to detect because Hitler rarely signed a picture unless it had been taken by his personal photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann, who stamped a distinctive seal on his photos...
...show Hitler in a different, more positive light. Excerpts released before the hoax was discovered maintained that Hitler was reluctant prior to the war to persecute Jews and had attempted several times during the conflict to make peace with the allies. Every historical account to date on the Third Reich flatly contradicts these theses. But given Hitler's stamp of legitimacy, a new version of the Nazi era could conceivably have emerged and been accepted by future generations...
