Thus spake immortal Albrecht Dürer who could and did portray all visible things whatsoever which were chosen by his often niggling patrons. Last week in his native city-quaint, medieval, storied Nuremberg-men paused to remember that Albrecht Dürer died there just four hundred years ago. They prowled up the steep stairs and round the drafty rooms of Dürer's tall house near the Castle Nuremberg. They viewed a great, commemorative collection of his works, and marveled how, at a patron's whim, he could crowd a mighty canvas with all imaginable...

Tactlessness on the part of his U. S. agent caused the International Dental Foundation for Chicago to cancel a symphony concert for charity which His Royal Highness was to have conducted in Manhattan. "We feel so disappointed.'' radioed officials of the Foundation to Prince Joachim Albrecht. He radioed back: "News excites me very much," and was expected to patch up the concert arrangements...
