...last week turned into a nightmare after a member of the Irish Republican Army opened fire on the soldiers as they sat in their car, killing one and seriously wounding two others. Five minutes later, two British airmen died when a bomb exploded in their auto in nearby Nieuw-Bergen. Two days later, a bomb was found at the British army barracks at Bielefeld, West Germany...

...process sometimes starts before the story. John Kolesar, now managing editor of the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J., recalls sitting on a committee at the Bergen Record to draw up a list of criteria for selecting projects that could win a Pulitzer. The Miami Herald a few years ago dispatched an editor to Manhattan to check out winning entries and how they were packaged. The choice of a hot subject can be helpful; AIDS and TV evangelists were popular this year. Prizemanship strategies have even built up a genre of newspaper writing: the exhaustive multi-part investigation...

Today, for instance, not a single English 13th century wooden crucifix figure survives in England; to find a probable example, the organizers of this show had to borrow an exquisite polychrome Christ from Norway, where it had been made by a traveling English artist for a church in Bergen around 1230-45. Just as in the greatest monuments of English Gothic today -- the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral, say -- one sees only the bare background of a decorative and sculptural scheme whose figural richness can never be restored or even reimagined, so the remains of medieval sculpture that have been...

...Ling Ling, Yong Yong and the other actors in what might be called China's Traveling Panda Act -- two more will be lent to the Netherlands' Beekse Bergen park this month -- are meant to do more than entertain. Pandas also carry a message: they are an endangered species with a bleak future. Only a few, 700 or so, still roam the mountains of central China, and there are not enough in zoos to ensure their survival...

Elsewhere in Europe last week, Israeli diplomacy had a smoother ride. Setting another precedent, President Chaim Herzog became the first Israeli head of state to visit West Germany. At the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which he helped liberate in 1945 as an officer in the British army, Herzog said, "I do not bring forgiveness with me, nor forgetfulness. The only ones who can forgive are the dead. The living have no right to forget." Despite the agonizing memories, Herzog hailed West Germany as "one of our closest friends." That was more than mere rhetoric. Today the Federal...
