...Paris apartment that consisted of three rooms on three floors. The legends about him spread: that he hypnotized those he was questioning by spinning a small silver spoon as he talked, that the 110-lb. German police dog at his side named Nero had once guarded Germany's Hermann Göring. One morning last December, France awoke to surprising news: without a word of explanation, Premier Charles de Gaulle had fired Wybot as chief of the D.S.T. and banished him to a dusty office as inspector of police schools...
...King of Fettuccine," who-under a spotlight, with house lights dark and violins softly playing-mixed butter into the long noodles with a gold fork and spoon given to him by Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, attracted food connoisseurs from all sides of the news, among them Hermann Göring, Dwight Eisenhower, Grace Kelly, Harry Truman, Heinrich Himmler, Princess Soraya, King Farouk, Pierre Laval; of a heart attack; in Rome.

He is ridiculed by his captain (Tenor Paul Franke), who seems to stand for all the bluster of petty militarism. He is used as a guinea pig by a doctor (Bass Karl...
Weeding through 1,600 entries, Corcoran Director Hermann Warner Williams concluded that the pendulum may at last be swinging back to Levine's (and Bierstadt's) way.
