...Hero. At 22, Tuesday married Claude Harz, a young screenwriter who was working as Roddy McDowall's secretary. Though it lasted for five years and produced a daughter, Natasha, the marriage was one of her bigger mistakes, according to Tuesday.

Reaching upward everywhere-from new apartment buildings in once-devastated Cologne, from the hunting lodges of the Harz Mountains as well as the malty rathskellers of Bavaria-the television aerials of West Germany pull down programs with a standard of excellence unparalleled in the world. They reflect the variety of the national interest rather than its lowest common denominator-and until this month all this was achieved on a single channel operating just five hours a day.
