...most Europeans are still working toward their first. They are working hard: Europe's overall auto sales rose 7% last year, when record years in Britain and West Germany offset slumps in France and Italy. As the annual run of international auto shows began last week in Frankfurt, Europe's 1966 model year headed toward further gains. If, as in the U.S., the new models brought few big surprises, there were striking signs that European automakers are betting heavily on some lessons from Detroit...
Triple Lure. Tens of thousands of auto buffs last week thronged Frankfurt's six cavernous exhibit halls to view the offerings of 69 manufacturers from 15 countries, including those of the big four U.S. auto companies. With scarcely an exception, the foreign firms went all out to adopt the triple lure that U.S. automakers have used successfully for years: more power and luxury features, greater model variety...
...Even if all the defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment, it still wouldn't be sufficient to expiate the deeds perpetrated at Auschwitz. For this, human life is too short."

In Frankfurt, bed and board of the late Rosemarie Nitribitt, the cruising floozy of the movie Das Mädchen Rosemarie, downtown traffic is jammed every night by fleets of motorized trollops. They crawl along in their Mercedes flashing their parking lights at prospective clients-then charging them $25 for double parking...
RHINOS BELONG TO EVERYBODY by Bernhard Grzimek. 207 pages. Hill & Wang. $12.50. Africa and its wildlife have admittedly been done to death in picture books, not to mention the movies. But Dr. Grzimek, who is director of the Frankfurt Zoo and widely respected as a conservationist, makes an excellent guide. His subjects do not just stand around as in most such books. They charge the photographer, get rescued from swamps; a pride of lions claw a stuffed zebra that Grzimek set up just to see what they would do. The text is informal and informative, just as a good guide...
