Money Stays. The Berlin that both Adenauer and his Opposition want to defend is not resting on the six months' stay of political execution that Khrushchev so grandly conceded. Hardly 1% of its bank deposits have fled to safer havens in the West since the crisis began; only a few factory orders have been canceled. Buildings still mushroom, factories still hum, refugees still pour in, as many as 2,000 a week, from Communist Germany...

The razzle-dazzle days of the '20s, the champagne-bath marriage to an irresistible playmate and a hopelessly irresponsible wife, the dropping of bank notes like confetti, have left a writer as drained as his bank account. To get money enough to go on with a book, he agrees to work on a Hollywood film about college life...
