...Street of Splendor, of course, was never built. Hitler perished in the ruins of old Berlin. But Albert Speer, who was later promoted to Minister in charge of all German war industry, survived to stand trial at Nürnberg and spent 20 years in Spandau prison for using slave labor. He completed his term in 1966 and returned to his home, Castle Wolfsbrunnenweg, on a hill above the Neckar River in Heidelberg. Speer was 28 when he became Hitler's architect, 36 when he was appointed Munitions Minister, 41 when he entered Spandau. Today he is a white...
Tsiolkovsky and Goddard are dead. Oberth, now 75 and living quietly near Nürnberg on a meager pension, has mixed feelings now that his lifelong dream is about to come true. "Sometimes I feel like an unmusical person who attends a concert and doesn't really understand what seems to excite everybody," he says. "On other occasions I feel like a mother goose who has hatched a brood and now, somewhat perplexed, watches the flock going off into the water.

...pressed for the birth of a "New South" in the 1880s. Yet McGill, a Tennessee-born farm boy who always seemed embarrassed by his worldwide acclaim, preferred to think of himself as a reporter.

...walk from the room, an elderly man slapped his face and cried: "Shame, you blood judge, for all the victims you have on your conscience!" Berlin Mayor Klaus Schütz called the decision "outrageous." Robert Kempner, a former U.S. deputy chief of counsel at the Nürnberg Trials, who now lives in Frankfurt, described the ruling as "the greatest setback of German justice since 1945." For once, the New Left and the right-wing press of Axel Springer found themselves in agreement. Both condemned the judgment as outrageously lenient...
Inevitably, the blame centered on Wehner. Last March, outside the hall in Nürnberg where the Socialists were holding their convention, a mob of young party dissidents attacked Wehner, loosening a tooth and knocking off his glasses. Since then, hecklers have hounded him at nearly every speech with cries of "Labor traitor" and "Fascist." Erupting in fierce outbursts, Wehner has replied in kind, calling his detractors "Communists," and warning that their leftist attacks against the party's moderate policies would only encourage the growth of the new rightist extremists. "As you bellow into the German forest," he declared...
