Reward Offered for Mengele and Nazi War Criminals
Israel will pay a one million dollar reward for tips leading to the capture of Josef Mengele and other Nazi war criminals, announced by the Justice Ministry after a cabinet meeting with Nazi hunters and security forces. The effort follows Mossad history in pursuing fugitives like Adolf Eichmann who was captured and executed in 1960. Separately, a U.S. embassy spokesman said Ambassador Hartman will skip a Red Square parade over an unresolved killing of a U.S. Army officer.

Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist laments a decline in lawyer statesmen in U S political life. He cites Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Lincoln as examples and attributes part of the change to demanding hours at large firms and the shift toward media friendly politics.
