...Ghetto on the Tiber, a history of Rome's Jewish community recently published in Italy, Dutch-American Jew Sam Waagenaar argues that Pius did almost nothing privately for Jewish refugees under the very windows of the Vatican in Rome. One of the main targets of Waagenaar's attack is a 1961 article by the late Father Robert Leiber, the German Jesuit who for more than 30 years was the Pope's private secretary and confidant. Leiber's article told of large numbers of Jews who were hidden inside the Vatican during the German occupation of Rome...
...Directions. ABC Cameraman Terence Khoo and Sam Kai Faye, Singaporeans and close friends, stumbled into withering fire from a North Vietnamese bunker.

"Twistin' the Night Away" is a tribute to Sam Cooke, Rod Stewart's personal idol. The song is not done with Cooke's smoothness, but that's not Stewart's style. But it's done well, with no trace of its datedness, as it's given a hard rock treatment. Measure enough of Stewart's homage and respect...
