I'm not entirely sure whether the word may have a slightly different meaning
in the German language, but I have never seen it applied to Gould before in
its english form. Sadly I understand very little German so I couldn't
understand much of the actual article. Who knows? Perhaps they're dredging
up evidence in Germany to implicate GG in unsolved murders?
