...dark, childless woman of 36 who has been pacing her life like a tiger in a cage of desire. Unable to restrain herself, she kisses the youth. When he spurns her ("Get yourself another boy") she takes despairing revenge in suicide. The boy is later killed in a car crash...
...Spotty Picture. Germany's first-quarter sales and production are 25% below the same period of a year ago. Crash efforts have been weak, as when VW reintroduced its mini-priced model at $1,121, christened by President Heinz Nordhoff, "the Economic Crisis Beetle."

After a period of lull, the Yemen war has heated up again, but this time the bloodiest fighting is not between royalist and republican; it is among the republicans themselves, who control the southern third of the country (including the capital of San'a) with the help of Nasser's 47,000-man occupation army. Pro-republican tribesmen, who were...
