Hessy Levinsohns Taft died on January 1st in San Francisco at age 91. As a child her photo won a contest to choose “the most beautiful Aryan baby” in Germany and was featured in Nazi propaganda.

"Of course," he went on, "and if you look up "gullible" in the dictionary, you'll see John Fry's picture. "Really?" she said.
