...months a copy of Taro Leaf, the unit's weekly newspaper, had been neatly stamped, sealed and mailed off to the "Combined Allied Forces Information Center," c/o Post Office Box 14940 in Hong Kong. Since the newspaper was freely handed out in Army commissaries, and even Munich and Augsburg hotel lobbies, nobody at the 24th Division gave the matter a second thought. Neither did anyone at VII Corps headquarters, which happily accepted a similar subscription request for its newspaper, Jayhawk, from the official-sounding CAFIC...
...faith as a middle way between the rigidities of Rome and the Reformation, a unique and vital bridge between Protestantism and historical Catholicism. But Lutheran Theologian Einar Molland describes Anglicanism as "the most elastic church in Christendom"-and with some justice. The essential Lutheran faith is contained in the Augsburg Confession of 1530; the Church of England's 39 Articles, far from being an authorized confession of the faith, are mentally rejected in whole or part by nearly every Anglican cleric who "assents" to them when he assumes church office.

...with his twin brother Jean. After years of practice in conventional balloons, the tall, scrawny professor with his outlandish head of wispy white hair, designed his own gasbag, his own spherical, airtight gondola, squeezed into the risky contraption one morning in 1931 and climbed 51,775 ft. over Augsburg, Bavaria-almost two miles higher than any airplane had yet flown.

West Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland, on the other hand, have about 60 thoroughly professional opera companies, most of them small houses that the musical tourist rarely hears of: Flensburg, Krefeld, Oldenburg. Hof, Saarbrucken, Augsburg. Kassel, Koblenz, Oberhausen, Bielefeld. There are some 150 U.S. singers in German-speaking houses today, constituting about 20% of the soloists. California-born Soprano Mary Gray, 29, recalls a Traviata in Karlsruhe last season: "The three leads came out for the curtain calls, and I looked around and thought, 'My gosh...
Younger Holbein's father, Hans the Elder, of Augsburg, Germany, was one of the most sought-after religious painters of his day, and his younger brother Sigmund for several years worked as his assistant. For the current show, Basel could find only a handful of oils and sketches that may have been by Sigmund, while Hans the Elder is represented by 79. The most dazzling is the famed Fountain of Life (see color), which once belonged to the wife of Britain's Charles...
