BONUS DAYS! If you’re one of those who just cannot get your tax returns ready by April 15, this is your year. Because today--the 15th--is a Saturday, you’ve got until midnight Monday to file your returns (B1). And that’s about the time many will get turned in. . . . “Californians love to procrastinate,” says Judith Golden, spokeswoman for the Internal Revenue Service’s Laguna Niguel regional office. “As of a week ago, we only had about 50% of the returns in.”. . . .

They see what happens in America as a harbinger of what might happen there.”

WWII REDUX: Eva Krutein’s 1989 memoirs chronicled her harrowing odyssey as a German war refugee.

Krutein is scheduled to be interviewed at her home today about her postwar efforts to reach the United States. Says producer Mike Plant: “We’re interviewing the famous and not-so-famous to give a complete portrait of life in America during that time.” . . . . No air date has been set.
