dies at age 96'

VIENNA (Assorted News Services) — Tue, 20 Sept 2005

*Count 'em!

"How did it happen?" you should ask. It was a miracle!

 

CORRECTION

On 20 September we ran an e-bulletin ("The Oxymoronic Miracle"), in which we reported that the recently deceased 'Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal had survived five "death camps."

This evening BBC News has announced that the actual number of "Nazi death camps" which Mr. Wiesenthal survived was twelve (12).

COUNT 'EM!

German inefficiency?
