Hitler's art collection is often plainly preposterous. Sharing the racks with Rubens are sexy sphinxes and snake-draped nude dancers of Max Klinger and Franz von Stuck, whose fancy for the Wagnerian concept of total art led them to stud their frames with marble, onyx and semiprecious lapidary and to incise their names in five-inch letters. Among nearly 2,000 lesser art works are monumental glorifications of the autobahns, tiers of titillating, bulky Brünnhildes in the buff, and pleasant vistas of Berchtesgaden. One canvas, called Judgment of Paris, shows three hefty maidens placidly awaiting...
...matchless assemblage of European royalty has gathered in London for the funeral of King Edward VII. Striding among the plumes, epaulets and gold braid are Edward's nephew, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, King Albert of Belgium and Austria's ill-fated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, three players already swept up in the genesis of a tragedy to be known as World...

Her paper collages are most successful; they are black and white, with a little red occasionally, and their line varies between that...
Economic Dilemmas. Most of the tearing is being done by the party's "Gaullist" wing, headed by venerable ex-Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, 88, and beefy ex-Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss, 49, who favor De Gaulle's vision of a Europe independent of the U.S. in nuclear and other matters. They are opposed by the dominant "Atlanti-cist" wing, led by Chancellor Ludwig Erhard and his Foreign Minister, Gerhard Schroder, who favor the U.S. -proposed multilateral force (MLF) and close as sociation with Washington...
