Vatican aided Nazi escapes and emigration after war
A declassified State Department study says the Vatican helped Nazi and fascist fugitives flee Europe after World War II and acted as the main force behind illegal emigration, aiding figures like Willy Nix, a Nazi smuggler, while claiming motives centered on spreading the faith and Catholic safety. The 1947 report, prepared by Vincent La Vista, notes Vatican officials provided jobs and passage to South America for escapees and acted without regard to nationality or politics.

Uranium stored casually in universities
U.S. nuclear officials report that bomb-grade uranium is stored at 25 campus reactors and six private facilities, often in filing cabinets with minimal security. The NRC aims to ban such fuel by 1988, proposing stricter regulations by late March. University officials oppose, arguing conversion lowers safety and raises costs.
