...five drivers still risks arrest by taking the wheel after drinking. About 7,000 a year go for one to twelve months to special prisons, including one outside Stockholm that is known as "the country club" because of the high social caliber of its inmates. In Denmark, where the number of arrests of drunken drivers has been increasing sharply, police are introducing breath-testing balloons and trying for tougher laws. The Finns put imprisoned tipplers in special jails and make them work their way out. Much of the hard labor in building Helsinki's new international airport was performed...
Perhaps because of its comfortable teachings, the Maharishi's "Spiritual Regeneration Movement" has spread quickly outside India. Transcendental meditation is now practiced by an estimated 100,000 followers in 35 countries from Denmark to New Zealand. Headquarters of the spiritual empire is the Maharishi's academy on a shaded, 15-acre site overlooking the sacred Ganges River at Rishikesh, 130 miles north of New Delhi. When the guru, a bachelor, is not proselytizing about the globe, he resides at Rishikesh in a simple, red brick bungalow, where he often meditates for 20 or 30 days at a stretch...

...Athens rocked with three separate explosions of plastic bombs in one evening. The largest group of Greek nationals abroad-155,000 workers and students in West Germany-are so anti-junta that they have applied an economic squeeze by refusing to send home their paychecks. From the safety of Denmark, Prince Peter, the cousin of King Constantine, recently called for the overthrow of the military government. The Council of Europe last week condemned the junta for its disregard of human rights, and the European Economic Community blocked a $10 million loan to Greece...
Elvira Madigan is an elegiac pastorale based on the true story of a Swedish cavalry officer (Thommy Berggren) who deserted his wife, children and career for a hopeless liaison with a circus tightrope walker (Pia Deger-mark). Abandoning their past, ignoring their inevitably tragic future, the two flee to Denmark to spend one delirious summer of happiness. Like stars that burn most brilliantly just before they are extinguished, the couple are renewed by simple pleasures-their bodies, the heady summer air, the wide riverbanks and the small, disciplined forests...
