...fantastic! I can't conceive of it!" exclaimed Klaus von Klitzing last week. The inconceivable, however, has long been familiar territory to the Polish-born, 42-year-old director of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, in Stuttgart, West Germany: the mind-boggling field of quantum mechanics is his special ground. This year, taking note of Von Klitzing's quantized Hall effect, an application of quantum theory's abstruse axioms to the more mundane field of commercial electronics, the Nobel Committee named him physics laureate. Said the boyish-looking father of three: "I've always wanted to answer...
...former Nazis found refuge in South America after the war. Protected and organized by a loosely knit network known as Kameradenwerk (Comrades' Enterprise), some of them have been living under their own names, and in considerable prosperity. Roughly 300 reportedly went to Paraguay. Eichmann and others lived in Argentina. Klaus Barbie, the "Butcher of Lyon," made his home in Bolivia before he was extradited to France in 1983. Two major catches of former Nazi bigwigs occurred in Brazil. In 1967 Sao Paulo police seized Franz Stangl, who was allegedly responsible for the deaths of some 400,000 victims...
...incredible crisis of faith for me," says Mormon Klaus Hansen, who teaches at Queen's University in Ontario. "It means our historical foundation becomes a nice story that has no connection to reality."

A devout Mormon couple in Whittier, Calif., in a letter to friends explaining why they have left the church, say new revelations about the Mormons' founding prophet have destroyed their belief...
...five or more medical facilities, even if it has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or another national drug- testing agency. The application data demanded for each new product run from 5,000 to 20,000 pages, and they are reviewed behind closed doors. Says Klaus Kran, president of Searle Yakuhin K.K., the Osaka-based affiliate of the U.S. drug firm G.D. Searle: "There is no public hearing. There is no possibility for our specialists to go in and tell them anything...
...FATHERLY LEADER of the group, Klaus Kinski, is nothing short of eerie. His restrained tension saves the script, which at times is too obvious in its attempt to show how even nice guys can get tough in times of war. For instance, in one scene Kinski is shown simultaneously ordering a PLO girl killed and calling his wife "to check up on family news." His understated brutality--he always seems on the edge of exploding--teamed with his paternal aura save scenes like this from heavy-handedness. In many ways, this is his film...
