...nearly 36 years, West German viewers tuned in to Der Internationale Fruhschoppen, a weekly program that brought journalists together to discuss current events. Last week the old standby was gone. It had been canceled because Host Werner Hofer, 74, perhaps West Germany's best-known media personality, was forced to resign over charges that he had shown pro-Nazi sympathies during World...

Harlem Renaissance: Art of Black America (Abrams; 200 pages; $35) documents this flowering, from the Paris-trained sculptor Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, who built her studio with her own hands, through Painter William H.

Last week a few tantalizing excerpts appeared in the West German weekly Der Spiegel. The journals, dating from 1924 to early July of 1941, record Goebbels' development from a deeply religious and literary-minded Catholic youth, who saw his diaries as a "substitute for the confessional," to a zealous political organizer whose sole faith was in Adolf Hitler.
