Gnat Bites. To suggestions that all this bordered on abuse of press freedom, Britain's editors could point with some justice to the public behavior of Adenauer and De Gaulle. Recalling the radio speech in which Adenauer charged that Fleet Street was being manipulated by anti-German "wire pullers" (TIME, April 20), London's Economist declared: "Dr. Adenauer has chosen to make a political issue of the gnat bites of individual British critics, and to make use of them in opposing British policies." Along with the Economist, most Britons professed to find it hard to understand...
...Terrible Twins. Early this month the Laborite Daily Herald (circ. 1,464,773) bannered a new charge against der Alte: DR A. JOINS A-BOMB CLUB IN SECRET. Burden of this "scoop" by Herald Air Correspondent Gilbert Carter was that West German money and scientists were helping to build France's Abomb. Outraged, West German Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss denounced Carter's story as a phony, invited Carter to inspect West German research centers-and the French-German Ballistics Research Institute in Alsace-to see for himself. For telltale days Carter hesitated; when he finally did accept...

She is the only woman on the Continent whom Mario can trust to love him for love alone. Reason: she is stone deaf. That is, until she has that operation, "dangerously close to the brain." If, like Johanna, moviegoers could keep their ears closed and their eyes open, they might enjoy Salzburg, Rome, Capri and Anacapri in fetching color. And by letting Zsa Zsa be Zsa Zsa, Director...
...treatment saved the Pope. Detractors argue that he wrongly diagnosed the illness (diaphragmatic hernia) as cancer, and was hustled out of the papal presence. What is certain is that as a reward for whatever he did, Dr. Niehans displays an autographed photograph on which the Pope wrote, in German, high praise of the cellular specialist. And in 1955 the Pope named him to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences...
