...three months Quesada has been busy recruiting, already has a cadre of 15 crackerjack scientists, headed by Dr. Ernst H. Krause, 41, former associate director of research for nucleonics at Washington's Naval Research Laboratory. Laboratory construction will start early this fall. Eventually, Quesada hopes to make back 80% of the $10 million total cost to Lockheed, but he will never try to make his new laboratory show a profit. Says Quesada: "Scientists function best when they know that they can work without dictation and develop theories irrespective of military contracts. We hope that through our ability...
Austria's Prince Ernst RÜudiger von Starhemberg, 55, whose fascist bullyboys and Heimwehr provided a home-front imitation of Naziism until the real thing seized Austria in 1938, got more strange forgiveness for his past troublemaking: Austria's highest court handed back to him his 82 castles, estates and mansions, all of which were originally confiscated by the Nazis when they took over and remained in public custody...

The grand prize for sculpture was awarded to playful and mysterious Alsatian Jean Arp and his crowd of polished bronze and marble lumps, each...
Cigar Boxes. Elisabeth introduces Ernst not only to the hot quick tempo of love on a furlough but to the moral decomposition of Nazi Germany. Her gentle doctor father, informed on by a tenant in his own house, is carted off to a concentration camp, and his ashes are subsequently returned in a cigar box. Ernst charms away such horrors with a symbol, a linden tree flowering affirmatively amid the ruins of his home-town square. Filled with a deep if obscure faith in the future, he marries Elisabeth and goes back to war, only to be killed by some...
