...Fritz Schaffer in his place. Last week, speaking with Adenauer's backing, Foreign Minister Brentano reversed Schaffer's stand, announced that West Germany will continue to share the cost of maintaining Allied troops on its soil "in the spirit of our alliance," until West Germany had built an army of its own.

The trees and walls are real, and the buildings are built of wood--like all houses in New England; but the wood is laquered, and waxed and varnished.

With Poetry London and the ?6,000, Tambi played his role of sub-patron of the arts with a flourish, built PL's circulation to 10,000, made it a proving ground for Britain's promising younger poets. But a managerial rift brought the magazine to its death...
