...German invasion of Europe was at flood tide last week. Only this time, instead of carrying guns, the Germans clutched fistfuls of lire, francs, guilders, dinars, schillings. Some 5,000,000 of them are pouring south and west in an eager tourist flight from the greyer skies and industrial soot of their prosperous native land. "It is the fresh air and sunshine that we like best," gushed buxom, blonde Use Schultz on the beach at Ostia. "It is so wonderful to feel the sun scorching until it hurts." In Italy the Germans outnumber American tourists, though they do not outspend...
...twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul add up to a potential major-league baseball franchise, and at least two American League teams-the sixth-place Cleveland Indians and the last-place Washington Senators-seem eager to travel. With a knowing wink eastward, the Minneapolis city council one day last week voted a $9,000,000 bond issue to enlarge Metropolitan Stadium from 21,000 to 41,000 if a big-league team should homestead there.

He wrote his first ballet (Old King Cole] at 51, his first film score (49th Parallel) at 68. Ever eager to try his hand at something new, he surprised Harmonica Virtuoso Larry Adler with a Romance for Harmonica with orchestral accompaniment. By then Composer Williams was 79. At 80, two years a widower, he married for the second time-his secretary. A year later he listened to the first performance...
...Like an eager duck bobbing after great white swans, a venerable, 33-ft. cabin cruiser named Foto last week followed the four sleek 12-meter yachts sailing over the course near Newport, R.I. Skittering across the yachts' bows, hovering a few yards off their lee rails, Foto followed every tack and tactic of the observation trials that will help select the boat to defend the America's Cup against the British in September...
