...SOUND OF TRUMPETS. In this sensitive first film, Director Ermanno Olmi places one gentle Italian lad inside a large business building and poignantly documents his long, hard climb to clerical non-entity behind a desk of his very...
...economics fascinated him. From Nurnberg's Academy for Economics and Sociology, he went on to do graduate work at Frankfurt University, where he became a protege of famed economist Franz Oppenheimer, a leading exponent of free enterprise. A dedicated mountaineer, Oppenheimer once took Erhard on a climb in the Alps. There, atop Mount Piz Corvatsch (11,339 ft.), the professor asked his student one final question about economics and forthwith an nounced that young Erhard had passed his Ph.D. examination. Chuckled Oppenheimer: "You are now the highest doctor on earth...
...dangerous clutch hitter in baseball. "Anything I can reach, I can hit," he boasted, and he is probably the only player who got shoe polish on his bat from golfing one over the fence.

Mount Fuji), now was set on 19,317-ft. Mount Kilimanjaro. "This is not a dangerous climb, just a long, hard walk," said Stew, and up he went casually clad in climbing pants, sports shirt and sweater. That was a bit skimpy for the hidden throes of Kilimanjaro-one seasoned mountaineer in the party collapsed from the altitude-but puffing and wheezing, Udall hauled himself onto the summit...
