...cities will certainly not be unified anytime soon. West Berliners had hoped that next year, when the city celebrates its 750th anniversary, the two sides might enjoy some joint merrymaking. But East Berlin authorities have made it clear that they have no interest in such cooperation. "It's the anniversary celebration of a divorced couple," quips a senior West Berlin planner. Still, the physical barrier has failed to trample the yearning for unity on both sides. When West Germany scored its second goal in the World Cup soccer finals last June, a volley of flares and rockets lit the East...
...tired of fowl puns -- about an hour after the audience does -- they switch to space opera, and Howard battles a scientist (Jeffrey Jones, funny against all odds) whose body is invaded by a giant lobster-scorpion space troll.

Relaxing in glossy Vorosmarty Square, they may enjoy coffee and pastry at marble-fronted Gerbaud's cafe. For dinner, they stop at well-appointed restaurants offering rich meals of pork and beef spiced with paprika, groaning dessert carts and good Hungarian wines. By comparison with the rest of Eastern Europe, the life-style in Hungary can be very...
...forgettable, and so are the adaptations of his work. But Ambler remembers them: "The Mask of Dimitrios had been made cheaply in standing sets and on the Burbank lot with Warner contract players, and by that time had already been tipped as a 'sleeper' . . . I had not expected to enjoy myself --Background to Danger with George Raft had made me very queasy--but I had not expected a screen Dimitrios to give me stomach cramps. They were quite severe." At the close, he imagines an ideal novelist-turned-screenwriter. After he completes his assignment, says Ambler, he has a sense...
