...Heggemann jetted to Athens and after an intense hunt found an Athens dry cleaner who remembered sitting behind a man resembling Zech-Nenntwich on a TWA flight to Egypt. The newsmen found the fugitive in the 22nd Cairo hotel they visited. Total time for the search: eight days. Their story made headlines around the world, but Zech-Nenntwich rejected their advice to return to Germany and serve out his sentence...
...free quiet over continuously welded tracks. Its 100-m.p.h., all-first-class superexpresses, like the Dortmund-Munich Rheinpfeil (Rhine Arrow), offer such amenities as a four-course dinner for less than $2.50, worldwide telephone service, and multilingual secretaries at $1.50 an hour. There is even a female Silberputzer (silver cleaner) to keep chrome polished and to dust the aisles.

After several such wearings, most gloves begin to go limp, soon acquire wrinkles and creases no cleaner can cure. One Way Out. But, astonishingly enough, there is hardly a woman who would be caught dead without gloves. Why? Largely because of etiquette. Even as "bold" and "modern" a social arbiter as Amy Vanderbilt, who last year went so far as to sometimes permit picking up chicken bones by hand...
...Virgin Lands" in Siberia. "The first time I went because I was a Komsomol member and they told me it was my duty," he said. "But the second time I went because I wanted to. I had seen something I liked there: a better side of life, a cleaner side of people that comes out when you work together out of doors, when you get up at six in the morning to plant crops and biuld houses. Here in Leningrad things are old. There is much culture, much talk. Like Western Europe. But in Siberia we had something exciting, something...
