International Army. The German engineers work for Hochtief, a hustling Essen-headquartered construction firm that is West Germany's largest. They are only the vanguard of what will be an international army of engineers drawn from Italian, Swedish, French and Egyptian construction companies. The job, whose feasibility was first worked out by the Swedes, will take seven years and cost $25 million; the expense has been largely met by contributions from the U.S., Kuwait and UNESCO. The overall boss of the international effort is 89-year-old Hochtief, whose name literally means "above below"-a reference to the firm...
...prove his first charge--that Allied terror bombing was not only cruel but militarily useless--Rumpf marshalls an impressive array of evidence. The British had hoped to smother the German economy by burning out the hearts of German industrial cities.

He has a pavilion outside Paris (where he spends his Sundays gardening), a taste for rosé d'Anjou, a Dutch wife and an English car, and next fall he will take up a post as Musiklehrer at the Folkwangschule in Essen, where he will teach a course in something like philosophy of drumming. He tours everywhere and vacations on the Côte d'Azur. "Why not stay here?" he says. "I earn a good living-a very good living." > PIANIST BUD POWELL, 38, is unquestionably the most important jazz...
