Georgakas has recently released The Methuselah Factors, a painstaking study that he modestly suggests unlocks "the secrets of the world's longest lived peoples."

One got a life sentence; another was acquitted; the rest received jail terms ranging from three to twelve years. Thus ended the longest (5½ years), and probably the last, major West German trial for Nazi war crimes against concentration camp inmates. The nine were all guards at the Maidanek concentration camp in Poland between 1941 and 1944. They had been charged with shooting, gassing, drowning or fatally beating some of the 250,000 Polish...
