...last week in a stark, high-ceilinged auditorium in Frankfurt's Town Hall. Behind six rows of wooden desks sat the 22 defendants, who looked like an ordinary cross section of West German citizens. Indeed they were: facing the court were dentists and businessmen, a farmer, a salesman, a pharmacist. What set them apart was that they were once custodians of that death factory called Auschwitz, the concentration camp where Hitler's men killed Jews, gypsies, Poles and Russians at the rate of up to 9,000 a day during World...
That information, plus the confession of Irwin, enabled the FBI to arrest two other suspects-sometime Salesman Barry Keenan, 23, and Beach Bum Joseph Amsler. And John Irwin was still talking. Twice before, he said, he had been involved in a plan to snatch Sinatra. "Once in Arizona," he said, "we just missed connections."

One, Barry Keenan, 23, of Los Angeles, a stockbroker's son, had graduated in the same high school class as Nancy Sinatra, young Frank's sister.

Tuohy, 62, an elfin onetime coal salesman who outmaneuvered New York Central President Alfred Perlman in persuading B. & O. stockholders to join with him instead of Central, plans to save $50 million annually by integrating operations. Seaboard President John W. Smith will run the new Seaboard Coastline Railroad, which hopes ultimately to save $38 million yearly, partly by eliminating 4,200 jobs along its frequently overlapping routes...
Jump Ahead. Son of a New Jersey advertising salesman, Hayden caught his first glimpse of the sea in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where his mother and stepfather had fled a jump ahead of the creditors. Before long he was slipping down to the Gloucester and Boston docks to beg a berth on the beam trawlers. By the time he got his skipper's papers, he was something of a local hero (LOCAL SAILOR LIKE MOVIE IDOL headlined the Boston Post). A well-meaning friend sent a letter to a Hollywood agent: "There's a young fellow back here named...
