...World grace and Heller's breezy New York style, the range of dealers is wide. One New York firm, Rosenberg and Stiebel, which numbers Oilman Paul Getty and CBS Chairman William Paley among its customers, traces itself back for more than 100 years to an antique dealer in Frankfurt. Its rising generation includes American-born and -educated Gerald Stiebel, 25, great-grandson of the founder. Rosenberg and Stiebel handle million-dollar sales with casual aplomb. The Metropolitan bought the Merode altarpiece for the Cloisters through them ("Probably our most important sale," says Father Eric Stiebel). Paul Magriel builds entire...

Following the Grani incident, the Hamburg...

In the other, an Austrian Airlines plane was damaged by a similar explosion, but the pilot managed to return safely to Frankfurt. Some dramatic Israeli retaliation against the savage and brutal act of terror seemed inevitable, but by the end of last week, there had been nothing more than a few relatively routine air strikes against Egypt (see following story). The most vigorous protests came not from Israel but from the press, pilots...
...difficult; the Swissair plane crashed with such pulverizing force that no piece of wreckage measured more than a yard in length. Nevertheless, investigators determined that each bomb had exploded when the plane reached about 12,000 ft., indicating that altimeters had been used as fuses.
