...main street, the Koblenzer Strasse, is part of the north-south highway from Cologne to Coblenz, and is perpetually jammed by 36,000 trucks and cars a day that must slow to a crawl to squeeze through the 18th century Koblenzer Gate in the middle of town. The 20,000 cars a day that travel east or west through Bonn have to cross a railroad line that bisects the city; at three level crossings the gates are closed for 360 trains a day, or an average of 20 minutes each hour. Capital traffic is also disrupted by a flock...
...American Club's Wednesday night bingo game. The Old Bonn families keep strictly to themselves; so do the town's 13,000 university students and faculty members. New Bonners, as they call the 521 Bundestag members and 12,150 federal employees, usually go to Cologne or Coblenz for amusement.

Even so, he was free to write flaming anti-Adenauer editorials for Der Spiegel, the brisk, irreverent, and often sensational newsmagazine he founded in 1947.

Under their flapping shirts is more than one gung-ho tattoo, such as "3rd Division Forever." At the top is Heintges, Coblenz-born son of a former German officer, and a 1936 graduate of West Point who rose rapidly through the infantry officer ranks during heavy fighting in Italy and France during World War II. After the war he was made chief of the military advisory group in West Germany. To take...
...have to choose from in Europe? He may wander through the Alps to the Swiss town of Fribourg, where he will be nearly swamped under the crush of 3,000 yodelers, on hand to compete for the tenth national championship. On his Rhine journey he may stop off in Coblenz to hear Johann Strauss's A Night in Venice, waterborne on a float in a quiet inlet of the river. Or he may try a harmonica and accordion festival in Nürnberg, where the best West German bands will be chosen at the end of this month...
