There is "irrefutable evidence," according to the La Paz district attorney, that Altmann is really Klaus Barbie, the SS captain who ran the Gestapo in Lyon from 1942 to 1944. Among Barbie's crimes were the deportation of thousands of Jews and the torturing to death of several hundred Maquis, including Resistance Leader Jean Moulin.

...virtues, the New Jewelry, which at times takes massive assertive forms that resemble nothing so much as castoff machine parts, is not to everyone's taste. Not every woman has the bearing to wear it, admit its creators. "It looks great on a Milanese model," says Lyon, "but doesn't look so hot on an old bag." Even thieves have not yet become aware of its worth.
