...hamlet the cry echoes: "Let's start a festival!" One happy hamlet that has followed the call is Germany's Bad Bertrich (pop. 800), nestled on a hillside 45 miles from Coblenz, near the Moselle river. It is moderately well known for its waters (good for stomach, gall bladder and liver disorders) and its 18th century castle, onetime residence of Prince-Bishop Clement Wenceslaus. Only a few years ago, tourists in Bad Bertrich seemed to be just about as dead as Clement: the bath houses were in disrepair, the castle was falling apart, and mighty few American...
Last week Professor Einstein trudged no more in the grounds of his beloved institute. A lingering gall-bladder infection sent him to the hospital. Blood began to escape from his aorta, the main artery. Shortly after midnight he muttered a few sentences in German. The night nurse could not understand, and the last words of the modern world's greatest scientist were lost. At 1:15 a.m. Albert Einstein, 76, died in his sleep...

In its relations with the government and 53-year-old King Saud, Aramco maintains a policy so studiously circumspect that sometimes it seems to its younger workers to be downright spineless. Often it proves bitter as gall to the American workers...
...Paris With Love (Rank; Continental). It takes a certain nerve for a comedian to try a throwaway line. But it takes nothing less than the sublimest gall when he tries-as Alec Guinness does in this comedy-a complete, unmitigated, 78-minute throwaway picture. He tries, he succeeds. To Paris With Love is a suave and elegant little comedy of indirections. And yet, unfortunately, Guinness & Co. will probably discover that in throwing away their picture they have thrown away much of their audience...
