Salzburg's Director Hermann Aicher, in the U.S. with his group for the first time, has been puppeteering Mozart and assorted fairy tales since 1926, when he took over the business from his father. Aicher, 48, his wife Elfriede, their daughters Frick, 23, and Gretl, 22, run the show with three assistants, design the puppets, costumes and sets for the 27-ft. stage. The dolls (adult size: 3-½ ft.) are more supple and lifelike than the popular U.S. or Howdy Doody brand; Cupid shoots arrows, musicians fiddle, puppet birds fly, angels flap their wings, flowers open, horses prance...
...Attorney Hermann Gottfried of Margaretville, N.Y. stood outside an upstate bus rest stop one day last week, desperately trying to thumb a ride, while his bus careened off toward New York City carrying his Gladstone bag with it. A motorist picked him up, the bus company held the bag at the Manhattan terminal, and Gottfried arrived in New York City's Municipal Building right on deadline.

...over from the Bourbons. When the silverware went with the President on state visits to Belgium and Britain, Eudeline journeyed with it; when World War II broke out and the silver was taken for safety to a country chateau, Eudeline went along to guard it. During the German occupation, Hermann Goring laid even heavier burdens on Polisher Eudeline by ordering 100 more place settings, but the steady rhythm of Eudeline's buffing arm never faltered. When he retired recently, not one man, but two, took his place...
