...expected rewards of a flight abroad, and as the travel season begins in earnest with the coming of June, it will be the source of rich business for airport authorities, who usually lease the shops to private entrepreneurs. The goods that they offer are as varied as diamonds at Amsterdam's Schiphol, fur hats ($10 to $75) at Moscow's Sheremetyevo, and what one experienced traveler describes as "jars filled with something looking suspiciously like pickled men's feet" at Lome, Togo...
Willing to Refund. Amsterdam's Schiphol offers the biggest variety and best prices. It leads all other airport shops in sales, which were $10 million last year. Schiphol also has the world's first duty-free self-service liquor and tobacco store, where passengers can pick and choose just as they do in a neighborhood supermarket.

Last fall a Jesuit chaplain to Roman Catholic students in Amsterdam announced that he intended to marry and continue in the priesthood. Two other young Jesuits gave him public support, and early this month were dismissed from the order by Arrupe. The Provincial of the Dutch Jesuits, Father Jan Hermans, then re signed his post rather than enforce the dismissals. Schoenenberger, Arrupe...
...price at which their products are sold. Consumers ultimately pay the en tire levy as part of the price of almost everything they buy. In Paris, used car dealers drove through town last week in protest against the new 25% VAT "luxury" rate on their cars. In Amsterdam, a restaurant owner, cooks and waiters recently staged a mock funeral procession to "bury Amsterdam's entertainment," hurt by an extra 12% on restaurant bills...
