...support all efforts for an atom-free zone in Europe." Next week the committee called "Fight Against Atomic Death," composed of Socialists and Evangelical churchmen, will make its public debut with a mass rally in Frankfurt. As in Britain, the Florence bomb proved a windfall to the cause, and Hamburg's Bild-Zeitung nervously asked whether American planes were flying A-bombs over West Germany. The question got a big play-far bigger than the U.S. Air Force's answer...
...Western Germany the impact of Schlechta's findings was instant. Said Hamburg's newspaper Die Welt: "A new Nietzsche dates from this edition." In Schlechta's interpretation, Nietzsche's "will to power" emerges not (or not alone) as man's will to mastery over other men, but as his will to a sort of excellence or virtue in his own inner being.

"Pity she's not a singer." Said his companion, a friend of Vera's: "But she is-and besides she's a mezzo." Next day Soprano Little flew...
...prompted by Keller's belief that emotions slip through the loom of language like herring through a cargo net. Keller's solution: analysis by music instead of by words. His criticism of Mozart's String Quartet in D Minor (K. 421) broadcast last week from Hamburg, convincingly demonstrated that a few snatches of music, pointedly juxtaposed, can make a sharper comment on a composition than a column of critical prose...
