...enough to make Richard Wagner turn in his grave. On the great stage of the roofless, littered Cologne Opera House a skinny little doughboy, shrouded in the pretentious livery of Siegfried, sang "Saint Louis Woman . . ." to a buxom, bearded, Brünnhilde. A G.I. strode past, sporting a foot-high Cossack hat of white fur. Romeo, a Matterhorn of meat and muscle, was there, and Juliet, too, her black wig on backwards.

...barefoot. Others stomped proudly in G.I. shoes. Mreah, a male dancer, came out blowing a harmonica, and paced a group of women in gingham wrappers. Then out came some children who piped a Japanese love song in a tune that sounded like You Are My Sunshine. Their leader, a buxom girl, started her songs by chanting, 'Wan, two, left, right,' as a great compliment to the Americans...
