...colleges find themselves turning out more teachers than they can afford to hire. In Germany, things are the other way round: the booming economy's demand for technical experts has created a shortage of high school science and math teachers. To education planners in the German state of Hamburg, the contrast was opportune. Rather than train more pedagogues by a slow, expensive expansion of their highly elite university system, the officials decided simply to import part of the U.S. surplus. The results were flabbergasting...
Miraculous Mayonnaise. In a similar case, a German merchant is being tried in Hamburg on charges of illegally pocketing $8,000,000 in subsidies. His 500-ton cargo ships would load up with maize flour (30% subsidy), and in mid-sea they would turn around and head for home. Their expensive cargoes were reimported as cattle feed (no tariff), and the journey would begin all over again.

Along with ennui, tankermen are prey to fleeting fears. In the past two months, mysterious explosions have sunk three tankers off the coast of Africa. Last week four crewmen were killed when a Swedish tanker blew up in a Hamburg drydock.

Empty, the ship is as potentially explosive as nitroglycerin, with a rich mixture of oxygen and oil fumes in its massive tanks. To prevent inadvertent explosions, a Japanese company has designed an automatic system that...
...sweet music of thunderous applause fell upon the pink ears of Prima Donna Joan Sutherland after her premiere performance of Lucia di Lammermoor in Hamburg last week. But oh! Boos followed for the weak conducting of her husband Richard Bonynge in the orchestra pit. Shaking her fist in fury, Miss Sutherland stomped onto the stage and stormed off again -refusing further curtain calls. Next day the Hamburg papers carried jittery editorials, worrying about whether Sutherland & Co. would pack up and go. No problem. Soon she was down at the Hamburg docks, her fist clenched now around a champagne bottle, with...
