...According to Frommer, Fielding writes "as though the only reason for going to Europe is to eat one grand meal after another. My people don't want to stay in hotels that have stock market tickers in the lobbies. They're people who want to test Europe???live on the Left Bank of Paris instead of the Right, eat in the same restaurants the local people eat in." Frommer's "people" are mainly travelers in the 30-and-under age bracket?currently nearly half of all the U.S. tourists who visit Europe. He appeals to them so gainfully that within...
...plans to make further cuts in its 210,000-man troop level in West Germany; they consider airlifts from the U.S. no substitute for forces permanently based on European soil. No one pretends, however, that ground forces are anything but a first line of defense for Western Europe???especially now that the Soviets have more troops in Eastern Europe, and closer to the West's defense perimeter, than at any time since 1945.

There was no doubt about it: the U. S. was seeing within its own frontiers what has come to be a commonplace of Europe???vast sums of timid money skittering out of a country at the first rumor of devaluation or rebellion. By last week the flight of capital from sunny California and the EPIC plans of its Democratic nominee for Governor had become a major market factor...
Familiar are the main facts of his life: He was born a king. His blood is the most reactionary in Europe???both Habsburg and Bourbon. He married a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. His son & heir suffered for years from haemophilia (easy bleeding), was never expected to live for the succession, but is now apparently cured. Graven on the public mind is the fact that Alfonso plays polo a great deal, likes gunning and sailing, drives an automobile very fast...
