Florida Atlantic University Libraries from Colonial Times to 1900: Levi Strauss: The Originator of "Levi's" by Seymour "Sy" Brody When the cry was heard, "There's gold in them thar hills," in 1849, thousands of people throughout the country left what they were doing to rush to California to dig for their fortune. Levi Strauss also went to California, but not with a shovel. Instead, he went there with bundles of cloth to sell to tailors. He didn't arrive in California in 1850 because the ship from New York had to travel around Cape Horn to reach San Francisco.

In this article, we examine the specific case of former Nazi concentration camp boss Karl Linnas. Clark joined Pat Buchanan and Baltic-American groups in trying to abolish the Office of Special Investigations, or O.S.I.

What especially infuriated the ultra-right winger Pat Buchanan, and the ultra-right wing Baltic-American groups, was that the O.S.I. cooperated with authorities in the Soviet Union who were trying to bring these Nazis to justice. Matters came to a head when the O.S.I. tried to deport Karl Linnas, wanted by the Soviets for mass murder in Estonia during World War II. Ramsey Clark argued against the O.S.I. because, he claimed, hunting Nazi war criminals was *wrong on principle*: "Regenerating hatreds"? RAF Benevolent Fund - Repaying the debt we owe.
