Germans who deny the Holocaust won't just be treated like nuts; they could be thrown in the slammer. A crime bill that passed both houses of the parliament includes tough measures against neo-Nazi activities in the country -- like five-year jail terms for people who promote the belief that Auschwitz was a lie.

Robicheaux, a down-home sort of fellow who runs a bait shop when he's off duty, is absurdly overmatched by the villains, a brother-sister pair of supernaturally brilliant, grotesquely evil neo-Nazis.

The Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which regulates the wineries, appears to be following a neo-prohibitionist agenda. The bureau requires wine labels to carry warnings about drunken driving and the danger of alcohol to pregnant women. At the same time, the bureau refuses to allow vintners to promote or advertise research indicating that drinking wine in moderation has some health benefits...
