Newest discovery is "Brutalist" Norbert Tadeusz, son of a Polish-descended Dortmund coal miner; only one year out of the Düsseldorfs liberal Academy of Fine Arts, he has already been represented in nine shows, become a collector's favorite. Tadeusz' teacher, Joseph Beuys, is also out of the ordinary. A onetime Hitler Youth and World War II Stuka pilot, Beuys has undergone a characteristic postwar metamorphosis to become Düsseldorfs reigning neo-Dada hero.

The two major Hamburg shipyards, the government-owned Howaldtwerke and the privately owned H. C. Stülcken Sohn, and Siemens, the electrical-equipment makers, have agreed on a merger that may include a fourth firm; the new group would have a shipbuilding capacity of 300,000 tons annually...
