Valtin-Krebs was living last week in New York with his girl-wife, 17-year-old Abigail Harris. Around the former German terrorist and Red agent swirled a storm of conjecture and argument: was his autobiography true or a hoax? Valtin-Krebs & friends said it was true; no respectable evidence has yet been produced to show that it was anything else. And if it was true, under present alien laws, he was liable to deportation back to the Germany whence he had fled...
...better traitor than terrorist, Major Vidkun Quisling has been a four-star flop as Nazi Gauleiter of the country he betrayed. Tough-fibred Norwegians, though defeated, have refused to be conquered. The Norsemen's passive resistance has included sabotage of power plants, attacks on individual Nazis, stealing any Nazi weapons left unguarded. Secret anti-Nazi organizations have flourished and have smuggled in money from sympathetic Sweden, arms from Britain...
...perhaps for this purpose that Hitler replaced his scholarly ambassador in Bucharest, Dr. Wilhelm Fabricius, with a brash terrorist, Baron Manfred von Killinger, whose record is one of the bloodiest in Nazidom's unsavory history.

As Gauleiter of Rumania, the Baron could be expected to exhibit those arts of discipline for which he is notorious...

They wondered too what part the approaching completion of the biography might have played as a motive for the crime...
...March he set off for a "vacation in Mexico." Secretly, before leaving Manhattan, Sheldon Harte had visited Leon Trotsky's lawyer, Albert Goldman, who hired the youth to work in Mexico City as a secretary-bodyguard to the Great Exile. Last month Sheldon was kidnapped by a terrorist group who riddled the Trotsky home with bullets, tossed an incendiary bomb into the courtyard, killed nobody in the house (TIME, June 3). Next day Jesse S. Harte (until then unaware of his son's job with Trotsky) enplaned in Manhattan, streaked to Mexico City, offered 10,000 pesos...
