Strictly speaking, the Société Monétgasque de Banque et de Méttaux Prétcieux, run by swarthy Greek Promoter Constantin Liambey, is only one of 13 banks in Monaco. But it had this advantage over most of the others: some $2,500,000 of Monaco's state funds were deposited in its coffers. In the eight years since he opened his bank, the favor of autocratic Prince Rainier and his top advisers had made johnny-come-lately Liambey one of Monaco's richest...
...representing 42,100,000 Protestants in the East and West zones, rejected the fiery Rev. Dr. Gustav Heinemann, 55, for a second term as president. Heinemann, who violently opposed Adenauer's alignment with the West and campaigned against German rearmament, was discarded in favor of the Rev.

...most fruitful years of study under Abstract Sculptor Constantin Brancusi in Paris.

They had been left with their grandparents in the village of Lipova back in 1947 when the Georgescus set out on what they believed would be a short business trip to New York. They were not molested for three years. But in 1950 their grandfather was carried off by the police. Ten months later the boys and their grandmother were put under house arrest in a dirt-floored, one-room hovel in a distant town...
...chair lift, down by force of gravity-what has that got to do with honest physical culture?" demanded Team Leader Constantin Sorokin, one of four "managers" accompanying the girls. "Ski lifts and the like would not be approved in the Soviet Union. Sports without toil and sweat, without the satisfaction of self-denial and self-conquest, are nothing more than an amusement." With that, Comrade Sorokin put his six strapping girls (four blondes, two brunettes) through conditioning exercises, starting at the crack of dawn, that left other competitors gasping...
