...Defense Minister who is trying hard for a comeback, sneered that if the trials were to continue, "war criminals" on the Russian side should be tried too. But Chancellor Erhard and the Bundestag extended the statute. In a moving speech on the site of the Belsen concentration camp, President Heinrich Lübke recalled that many non-Jewish Germans were executed or imprisoned for opposing the Nazi regime. "Their number is many times larger than the number of hangmen. Their death and suffering make us part of the international solidarity of all men and women who fight...
...Elizabeth and Philip, who between them have at least as much German blood as English, seemed the model monarchs for such an undertaking.* Yet somehow the visit got off to a chilly start as heavy rains and mothball size hailstones pelted the top-hatted German Cabinet, waiting with President Heinrich Lübke and Erhard for Elizabeth's airplane to touch down at the Bonn-Cologne airport. The sun came out before she landed, but squishing along the soggy red carpet, and then splashing through puddles to inspect her 270-man guard of honor from the German air force...

With the advent of the Nazis, the family had been forced to flee to Paris and begin again. But of the second Thannhauser collection in Paris, only a few bundled-up paintings, including a rare 1905 Picasso, escaped Nazi confiscation. They were enough to spark...
...Manhattan's Parke-Bernet Galleries last week staged a doubleheader, splitting sales of 130 modern art works with a $50-a-plate black-tie dinner. On hand were such luminaries as A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford, Playwright Edward Albee, Architects Philip Johnson and Mies van der Rohe, Baron Heinrich von Thyssen, the Duchess of Leeds and all three Kennedy sisters. Nearly 3,000 potential buyers crammed four floors of the auction house with the spillover relegated to the limbo of nearby Finch College, where they followed the high-tension bidding and the hammerings-down on closed-circuit television...
