“BERLIN (AP) – The brains of three leading terrorists who committed suicide in a German jail in 1977 have vanished from the lab where they were taken for autopsy, a magazine reported Sunday. Der Spiegel’s report added a macabre new twist to a controversy surrounding Red Army Faction leader Ulrike Meinhof since it emerged that her brain was preserved for research after her 1976 suicide. German prosecutors, alerted by Meinhof’s twin daughters, demanded last week that a university professor who had been studying the brain since 1997 return it.”
—The professor, one Dr. Eric Vornoff, is quoted as saying, “Home? I haff no home! Hanted . . despised… liffing like an animal – de jongle is my home! But I vill show de vorld dat I can be its master. I shall perfect my own rice of pipple – a rice of atomic supermen dat will conquer de vorld!”
Yeah, someone did. And nobody raised hell about it at all. If it was a basic no name murder and someone stole the brain of the deceased all hell would break loose, lawyers would call for tampering, people would be fired/sued/interrogated/investigated.
But nothing happened.
And this was a United States President, not Joe Shmoe Six pack.
