...DIED. Joachim Fest, 79, German author of the psychologically incisive, globally acclaimed 1973 work Hitler; in Kronberg-im-Taunus, Germany. Fest shed light on the Third Reich by examining its leadership in dispassionate, vivid detail.

My grandfather was a farmer, and before him his father and forefathers, and I take serious objection to your claim that Israeli setters built their illegal settlements on wasteland. They have built them on well-nurtured soil on which my ancestors shed sweat and blood.
