...claim to dignity. But more than 35 years later in 1979, when Dr. Wilhelm Staeglich wrote his book. The Auschwitz Myth, he did not attempt to restore man's faith in his own humanity--a faith badly shaken by the Nazi's cold, calculated brutality. The West German neo-Nazi tried to revive anti-Semitic "Jewish conspiracy" theories and to wash the bloodstains off Hitler and a Germany gone...

Neo-Gaullist Leader and Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac told supporters, who had gathered in a drab, working-class district of the capital, that the Socialists and Communists were "consummate artists when it comes to lying." Former Premier Raymond Barre blasted the government for the "cacophony" of its contradictory policies. Mitterrand remained above the fray, but Socialist First Secretary Lionel Jospin and Communist Boss Georges Marchais tried to drum up the loyal leftist vote in the suburban industrial "Red belt" around Paris. Marchais told a rally...
