...President nonetheless has at his command the greatest information-gathering mechanism in the world. It is an untidy, ungainly monster. Cables by the thousands pour in daily to the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA, in time of crisis or relative calm. In the Nixon Administration, the departments and agencies funnel their foreign intelligence through National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger. At roughly 9 o'clock each morning, he passes a 20-page summary on to the President, along with special memos of his own. During the day, Kissinger clips vital cables and forwards them to Nixon, sometimes hourly...
...Trained in euthanasia methods in Berlin, he prepped for Treblinka by running an asylum in Linz, Austria, where as many as 28,000 mentally defective people were killed. His next stop was Sobibor, another camp in Poland, where his efficiency so impressed his Nazi superiors that he was given command of Treblinka. There, the prosecution charges, he eventually raised the daily death toll to an average of 10,000. He oversaw the activities of the reclamation squad that yanked gold teeth from the mouths of corpses (319,000 lbs. of gold from dental fillings, wedding rings and other jewelry were...
...direction?never the command ?of their therapists, the patients are encouraged to begin exploring the latent capabilities and mysteries of their bodies.

Reuther helped to lead the 1963 civil rights march on Washington, spoke out almost alone in labors high command against the Viet Nam War, strongly supported Cesar Chavez's grape strikers. He bubbled with social ideas: for a national medical-insurance plan and for a program to build low-cost housing for the poor, using assembly-line techniques. At the end of his life, he was talking about adding some form of pollution control to the demands that the U.A.W. will serve on the auto companies when bargaining begins this summer. Not all his enthusiasms bore...
...Firmer Command. To the often-squabbling U.S. labor movement, Reuther's death may bring a period of surface calm. Although he helped mightily to negotiate the A.F.L.-C.I.O. merger in 1955, Reuther was a constant disturber of the peace within the federation, needling its officials to conduct bigger organizing campaigns and do more to help civil rights and other causes. In exasperation over the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s slowness to heed these pleas-and no doubt in frustration over his own dimming chances to become A.F.L.-C.I.O. president -he led the U.A.W. out of the union federation...
