  • This 12 November 1992 episode of the CBS news magazine “Street Stories with Ed Bradley” has the following segments:
    1. Ed Bradley speaks with Ian Sayer, an expert on World War II, about SS General Wilhelm Mohnke. Mohnke played an important role in the massacre of American POWs at Malmedy during the Battle of the Bulge. Hardline Nazi who dodged prosecution for all his war crimes.
    2. Robert W. Kearns invented the intermittent speed windshield wiper for cars and sued auto makers who did not pay him royalties for the right to use his patent. This segment deals with one of Kearns’ lawsuits.
    3. Columbo crime family member Guy Scarpa is the subject of a Harold Dow story on the gang war going on in 1992 in Brooklyn, with Guy Scarpa front and center. Scarpa was dying of AIDS then, acquired (so they say) from a contaminated blood transfusion. So this segment has the name “Bad Blood.” The segment starts off with an interview with then Brooklyn District Attorney Charles, who built his career on convicting innocent people of murder and will probably get away with his crimes. Hynes is really untouchable, unlike mob boss Gotti.
    4. There is a throwaway story about some women from the city who decide to join a cattle drive. Following the theme of the 1991 movie “City Slickers,” these women go on a weekend trip to a working ranch in Chase County, Kansas. Boring.
    Now if only some network news magazine would report on Guy Scarpa’s son, locked away in Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, to shut him up concerning the information he has on the FBI. As Peter Lance wrote in “Triple Cross,” had Guy Scarpa, Jr. been free to talk to reporters, he could have revealed how the FBI in 1994 knew that Ramzi Yousef’s uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), was planning on hijacking multiple passenger jets at the same time and using them as guided missiles. KSM carried through his plans for bin Laden on 9/11.
