...This week, in perhaps the most chilling re-enactment of all, the Fiihrer himself confronts his Paris commandant, General Dietrich von Choltitz, and orders him-once he can no longer defend the City of Light -to leave it "nothing but a blackened field of ruins." The actor who plays Hitler, Billy Frick, is so exact a look-alike that he is afraid to leave the set except mustacheless and in mufti. The porcine, Prussian-looking fellow cast as General von Choltitz worries less, for during the past year he has got as many off-screen hisses as autograph requests...
...steel shaft and sealed so as to last 5,000 years, is a Time Capsule crammed full of documents and artifacts. Among them: a tranquilizer, a birth-control pill, a pack of filter cigarettes, a blue and white bikini, and photographs of Joe DiMaggio, Errol Flynn and Adolf Hitler-but not one of Robert Moses...

...Dutch, whose anthem dates back to 1568, still sing their allegiance "to the King of Spain." At least a dozen nations have had anthems to the tune of God Save the Queen-including Germany during World War I. West Germany now sings only the third verse of what through Hitler's time was known as Deutschland Uber Alles, and even that was borrowed from Austria. Two East European nations are now revising their own postwar anthems, written to please their Russian masters. Rumania is cutting out the line about the "liberating Soviet people," and Bulgaria is bent on sinking...
...study with Art Historian Meyer Schapiro at Columbia. In the face of hardheaded parental disapproval, he had been sketching since childhood. When he showed Schapiro his work, the Columbia scholar sent him along for criticism to the lively circle of French surrealists who had been driven by Hitler to take refuge in the U.S. Motherwell's scholarship and knowledge of French poetry earned the surrealists' admiration; his work attracted Patroness Peggy Guggenheim, then married to Top Surrealist Max Ernst. She promptly proceeded to make him the youngest painter in her stable, which included Pollock, William Baziotes and Clyfford...
