...Nice Uniforms Chicago-based Glenview State Bank apologized for praising Nazi Germany's sound economic principles of the 1930s. In a customer newsletter, the bank credited Hitler with reviving the German economy as other nations' economies slumped...
Christian Eisenbeiss has beer in his blood. So does Bernhard Sailer. Both are third-generation members of German brewing families, both love their work, and for now, both are brewing up heady profits. But if you had to choose which man represents the future of the troubled German beer industry, it would have to be the New York-born Eisenbeiss (his parents emigrated to the U.S.).

...unmistakable. A worker is suspended in mid-stride, fleeing the path of the stone he has been pushing uphill; he's both dodging the plummeting boulder and heading for an idyllic valley. But here's the twist: when he painted it, Mattheuer was an avowed communist coddled by East German apparatchiks, yet the work is an obvious protest at the condition of life for ordinary folk in the G.D.R. - not the sort of thing one expects a state-supported artist to have produced. It is such ambiguity that "Art in the G.D.R.," the new show that runs until...
