- DIED. Jacques Correze, 79, World War II Nazi collaborator and
- chairman of Cosmair, the American marketing arm of L'Oreal, the
- French beauty-products giant; in Paris. Correze died hours after
- announcing his resignation as Cosmair's chairman amid renewed
- controversy over his wartime pro-Nazi activities. After the war
- he served five years in prison in France for storing arms,
- building explosives and fomenting attacks on the French
- government. Two weeks ago, after Jewish organizations provided
- documents implicating Correze in raids on the homes and
- businesses of Jews in France in the 1940s, the U.S. Justice
- Department launched an investigation to determine whether he
- should be barred from entering the U.S. because of his former
- Nazi ties.
