New York Times: C.I.A. Knew Where Eichmann Was Hiding, Documents Show (6/7/06) by Scott Shane
This report of U.S. complicity in ex-Nazis' post-war doings in South America, based on newly declassified documents regarding Third Reich official Adolf Eichmann, includes a historical anecdote of media self-censorship:The West German government was wary of exposing Eichmann because officials feared what he might reveal about such figures as Hans Globke, a former Nazi government official then serving as a top national security adviser to Chancellor Konrad Adenauer... In 1960, also at the request of West Germany, the CIA persuaded Life magazine, which had purchased Eichmann's memoir from his family, to delete a reference to Mr. Globke before publication, the documents show.
Plus Bloomberg News: Money for Amtrak Slashed (6/7/06). The Times' frequently pro-privatization take on the government-subsidized rail system is capped by a dismissive single-paragraph wire item covering cuts of "federal financing for the next fiscal year by 31 percent."
