Barrientos' troubles began two weeks ago, when his Minister of Government, Antonio Arguedas, fled abruptly to Chile.

Beards & Blondes. Never, in the 18 years since he fled East Germany as a penniless refugee, has Richter's prestige been higher.

In fact, six of the Justices thought that the defendant's actions were suspicious enough to give probable cause...
Died. Teo Otto, 64, one of the world's leading stage designers, whose symbolic sets graced theaters from Hamburg to Haifa; of a heart attack; in Frankfurt, West Germany. A member of the Berlin group that included Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill, Otto fled Hitler's Brownshirts in 1933, set up camp in Zurich where he staged a Richard III that would either "win the Zurich public or send us back to the concentration camps."
