...Washington Holocaust Museum Shooting On June 10, a gunman opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, killing a security guard before the assailant was struck by return shots. Law-enforcement officials said the 88-year-old suspect, James Von Brunn, had ties to white-supremacist groups. He served prison time after carrying guns into Washington's Federal Reserve Building...
...British Prime Minister [Harold Wilson] had come to Rhodesia to try, somehow, to prevent the white-supremacist colonial regime of Ian Smith from seizing independence ... The United Nations had urged sanctions to starve the settlers out ... And Wilson himself had talked grimly of the 'bloodbath' that might follow a unilateral declaration of independence ... In his talks with Smith last month in London, it had become painfully clear that neither side would make any meaningful compromise on the fundamental issue. The British would give Rhodesia its freedom only on condition that the nation's 4,000,000 blacks be guaranteed control...
...Joan Humphrey Lefkow, seemed to lead unusually open and trusting lives. The couple drove to work together and held hands in public. Michael's bio is displayed on his practice's website.

Hale, 33, is the leader of a white-supremacist group formerly known as the World Church of the Creator. From prison, 10 miles from the Lefkows' home, he issued a statement denying any involvement in last week's murders in his weekly phone call to his mother Evelyn Hutcheson, who read his message to a TIME reporter in the tiny kitchen of her East Peoria home: "I totally condemn...
...several other major groups--like the National Alliance and Aryan Nations--have either died or been arrested in recent years. In the confusion, less formal splinter groups and rabid online communities have formed. Stormfront, the first major white-supremacy site, was created in 1995 and now claims to have 45,600 members. Rough estimates put the total number of members of white-supremacist groups in the U.S. at about 100,000. Many more are unaffiliated--which doesn't mean harmless. Of all hate crimes, only 5% to 10% are committed by members of hate groups, says Brian Levin, director...
