...country singing tour through Europe, Frank found his blue eyes staring into empty seats in West Germany last week. Half the 10,000 seats in Munich's Olympia Hall were vacant for his first concert, and a second performance in Frankfurt fared almost as badly, causing Sinatra to cancel an appearance in Berlin and refund more than $85,000 to organizers of his West German tour. "Sinatra just is not part of the nostalgia wave now rolling over Germany," said one young music fan in Munich. "Now if you got Greta Garbo to sing in Munich or Berlin...

The cylinders would be built at the constantly moving "libration points," where the gravity of the earth and of the moon cancel each other out.

The cylinders would rotate slowly...
...York State, where the Argonaut Insurance Co. plans to cancel coverage for 27,000 of the state's physicians and 48 hospitals on July 1 (the company was denied a 196.8% rate hike last December), Governor Hugh Carey has proposed a three-part relief package. The Governor's plan would create a state insurance fund, shorten the statute of limitations on malpractice suits, and make it easier to discipline doctors who make avoidable errors. California's state senate has passed and sent along to the legislature's lower house emergency, or "Band-Aid" bills to guarantee...
