...main target of the week-and one that was calculated to appeal to the Poles-was West Germany. In fact, Khrushchev got his only show of genuine enthusiasm on his Polish tour when he rolled through the haunted, once-devastated "Western territories," formerly German but now Polish, and enthusiastically sided with Polish claims. Said Khrushchev, as he set the theme in Katowice: "Adenauer seems to follow in the footsteps of Hitler, who is now decaying in the earth. I say to Adenauer: 'If you try to attack the Socialist countries, you won't be able to leave your...
...Marcucci was in trouble. His little Philadelphia recording company (Chancellor Records) had been cashing in on the slim voice of a skinny, second-rate Sinatra named Frankie Avalon. But now Avalon was 17 and beginning to outgrow his appeal for the jukebox set. Busy as he was with his search for a replacement. Bob Marcucci took time to rush to the home of a South Philadelphia neighbor when he saw an ambulance drive up. Policeman Domenic Forte had suffered a heart attack, and Bob stuck around to help. Suddenly he had a vision. He turned to the sick...
...Marcucci persisted. He saw in the round-shouldered boy with the smooth olive skin and the sharp, ducktail haircut just the sort of all-American appeal he was looking for. He made Fabian go to a voice teacher-three voice teachers, in fact, before one was willing to keep him as a pupil. Then Fabian made a couple of records that were duds.

Cured: "Manager's Sickness." The new Bremen is slower (six days from Southampton at 23 knots) and smaller (32,336 tons) than the old, which carried twice as many passengers (2,231 v. 1,122). But Lloyd plans to pitch its appeal to tourists who want leisurely travel, non-dress-up luxury and fine, hearty food. Probably his best year-round clientele, figures Director Bertram, will be ocean-hopping businessmen who need a respite from the jet pace (some German firms now require executives flying the ocean to return by ship...
...most responsible for Ollenhauer's luckless flirtation with Khrushchev. The likeliest candidate to lead the party is Bundestag Vice President Carlo Schmid, 62. Convivial, mellow-voiced Carlo Schmid is by all odds the most articulate Social Democrat advocate of broadening the party's middle-class appeal. He was once an officer in Hitler's army, but in a noncombat occupation job in France, where his command of the language is said to have enabled him to give secret help to the French underground. He is a professor-the most respected title in Germany-and an excellent speaker...
