...sight of Farmer Austin Stottlemyer's 50 handsome Holstein cows moseying down the main street of Antietam Furnace might have seemed properly bucolic to a casual visitor. But not to the natives of the little (pop. 51) Maryland village. Stottlemyer was careful to obey the state law-one farm hand walked in front of the herd and one behind-but the villagers complained that the cows obstructed traffic, trampled flower beds, and left a trail of manure that was not only tracked into houses but sometimes caused children to slip and fall perilously close to passing cars. On their...
...Disputatious. The trouble is that the consortium already has permission to drill from the coastal states of Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Bremen, whose right to grant such permission is now hotly disputed by Bonn. An even thornier question is how to divide mineral rights between Germany and Holland, as well as among Denmark, Norway and Great Britain, all of whom front on the North Sea. Hope that these five nations could deal objectively with the issue looks dim. "It seems to us that countries that in past ages have had only trouble from the sea," said Rotterdam...
...level of intensity throughout the play. Bramhall gives every sentence weightiness, makes every speech momentous. It is with energy, not respect, that he controls the conspirators. His antics make Cassius seem calm by comparison.

The giggles heard during what should have been the most exciting moments of the second act ought...
...Cyprus problem last week was beginning to resemble the famous Schleswig-Holstein question, which agitated Europe for nearly 100 years and caused at least four wars. Of this knotty diplomatic tangle, Britain's Lord Palmerston said, "Only three men have ever understood it. One was Prince Albert, who is dead; the second was a German professor who went mad. I am the third, and I have forgotten all about it." Forceful Tampering. Diplomats at the U.N. would be equally happy to forget all about the Cyprus problem, which last week was returned to the Security Council after U Thant...
After the war, Heyde was interned by the Allies but escaped to the north German state of Schleswig-Holstein, where, as "Dr. Fritz Sawade," he established a flourishing practice. Though many ranking Schleswig-Holstein officials were aware of Sawade's real identity, he was never taken into custody; over the years the doctor collected some $75,000 in fees as an expert medical witness before the state's courts. At last, in 1959 Sawade was unmasked as Heyde and thrown into jail...
