...feel we can raise one-third of the money," Bertelsen said last night. He noted that the lightweight crew has received an invitation from the German Rowing Association to enter a regatta in Hamburg one week after the Henley event. The German organization would pay all expenses while the crew is in Germany, Bertelsen said. The Hamburg trip is very indefinite, however, since no funds have been provided for transportation to Germany, and several crew members may have summer commitments at home...
Morality Play. Not that Fielding is a prude: "For the most rugged, down-to-bare-facts night life on the continent of Europe-at decent prices and under non-clip conditions, too-Hamburg wins the diamond-studded G-string by 6 bumps and 24 grinds." It is not raw flesh but raw deals that make Fielding's blood boil: "Of all the groups of surly, devious, tip-hungry ruffians we've met in our travels, the Venetian gondoliers take our personal booby prize."

...Hamburg the executive committee of the powerful Trade Union Federation met for seven hours in an emergency session.

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...
Every traditional schoolboy value-loyalty to comrades, gaiety and spontaneity-was smothered in great quilts of priggish guff. Wolfgang found that the bully was esteemed by the teachers. When one pupil from Hamburg Sunday-punched a little fellow half his size, the smaller student was denounced for having behaved in a "provocative" manner. Wolfgang was reported for having remarked that some Spanish girl students were very pretty; this kind of frivolity would not do. The result was an episode recorded like "My First Communion" in a pietistic work-"My First Self-Criticism." He duly denounced himself, but he could never...
