...Germans, except among family and close friends, ever unbend enough to call each other by their first name. Instead, they delight in using strings of titles that proclaim the bearer's academic, professional or aristocratic status. Just about everyone has at least one title, and many people have several. German businessmen and bureaucrats never tire of constructing new and more elaborate handles to stretch across their calling cards and frontdoor name plates. The habit has reached such extremes that some Germans are now revolting against it. Typically, the reformers were unable to resist the temptation to compound...

Since the turn of the century when it was billed as America's leading male chorus, its footing has slipped a little, but it has become a symbol of undergraduate spirit as well as the standard bearer of varsity choral singing.

He is the favorite of grass-roots party workers, and even those who concede that he might not be the ideal standard bearer say nonetheless that they will vote for him in Miami Beach in deference to his experience and unflagging service. Nixon himself rejects the idea that any man should get the nomination in payment for his party labors, insists that it should go to the strongest candidate. And who might that...
