...reject button. Motoring? U.S. cars come direct from the factory at prices far below Stateside and gasoline is pumped into the tank at 14? a gallon. Vacation? If bored with the local 18-hole golf course (family membership: $40 a year), try a pleasant few days skiing at Garmisch or Berchtesgaden, where a private room-and-bath is priced at $1.25 a night.

The 350-bed Wiesbaden U.S.A.F. hospital sends no bills to any patients-except for maternity care, which costs...
Into the West German mails this week went 3,500,000 copies of a 400-page catalogue that will set off a long-distance shopping spree in homes from Bremerhaven to Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Earlier sleds swept the run clean, and Eugenio and his brakeman Renzo Alvera slicked down the one-mile groove in the record-breaking time...

Unchastened Eugenio Monti sneered at the four-run time total of 4:49.33 and announced: "All I wanted was a fast run."
