    FOLLOWING THE 'RAT LINES'

    While a new translation of Eli Wiesel's Holocaust memoir, "Night," is
being touted by Oprah Winfrey to millions of Americans, a much less
publicized piece of Holocaust history is being played out in a federal
court in San Francisco, where a former U.S. Army intelligence officer has
testified that the man who became Pope Paul VI "helped hide and launder
property that had been stolen" from Nazi victims in Yugoslavia during World
War II.

    POPE PAUL VI, (The Holy Father from 1963 to 1978)The Israeli newspaper
Ha'aretz has "obtained testimony given last month by William Gowen," who is
now in his 80s, which reveals that after the war Monsignor Giovanni
Battista Montini (elected pope in 1963), right, was personally linked not
just to those criminal acts but also "was involved in the sheltering and
smuggling of Croatian war criminals, such as the leader of the Ustashe
movement, Ante Pavelic."
