...restaurant in Madrid; his food ranks with the best in Europe. SS Colonel Eugen Dollmann, Himmler's onetime personal representative, is opening an import-export business in San Sebastian. Former Gestapo Officer Ernst Hammes has a de luxe gift shop in Madrid's fashionable Serrano district. Scarfaced SS Colonel Otto Skorzeny, daredevil paratrooper who snatched Mussolini from his mountain prison in 1943, and dressed his killers in U.S. uniforms during the Bulge breakthrough, has leeched on to the Spanish military...
There, next morning, the fugitive found white-mustached Ambassador Alberto Serrano Pellé mowing his lawn. When she asked asylum, the ambassador curtly refused. There was a sharp argument.* "Thank you," snapped Evelyn, "I won't forget this." Serrano shouted: "I won't forget it either!"

Suddenly ordering the driver to stop, she skipped in the side door past three flatfooted Seguridad sentinels. Inside, she got a quick "Yes" from...

Last week he had finished a 14-month series of experiments (in which Guatemala physicians cooperated) under contract for Merck & Co., and was busy writing his report...
...Serrano made controlled experiments on 1,800 women who had trouble nursing: 50% could not nurse at all without ixbut, but did well with it; 35% who could nurse only a little showed marked improvement with ixbut. The 15% who got no benefit were mostly nervous types. But Serrano found the same proportion of failures among goats which, he insists, were not nervous. Animals also give the lie to scoffers who say that the effect of ixbut is psychosomatic. Dairymen report that ixbut doubles the milk production of their cows...
...convinced," concludes Serrano, "that ixbut increases milk flow. By analysis, I know that this increment is actually milk and not water, as I originally suspected. We must still isolate the agent that causes the increase [a project which Merck & Co. will work on] and learn how it works." Serrano could rule out the milk-producing hormone prolactin: it did not enable his wife to nurse her four babies. But ixbut...
