...Lanslevillard on the French-Italian border, killing eight and injuring ten. That slide occurred just 30 miles from Val d'Isère, the home town of Skier Jean-Claude Killy, where 42 people were killed last month when a massive slab of snow thundered into a youth hostel. Still another series of avalanches last week caused nine deaths in the Austrian Tyrol, and three more died in Italy's Apennine Range about 100 miles southeast of Rome...
...last summer I started out from a youth hostel in Inverness, at the end of Loch Ness in Scotland. I left the hostel at 8 a.m. on my motorcycle. She was a vintage, 1958 blue Triumph, a bit rusty around the crankcase, but like a good woman, faithful...
...second Europe-wide symposium of the Catholic hierarchy had hoped for an atmosphere of ecclesiastical calm. But out side the palace were 70 priests (some of them in sport coats and red ties), part of a protesting "shadow symposium" that had been hastily convened at a nearby hostel.

Though I'm sure my second cousin's hostel cannot be half as entertaining as the brothel in which Behan's play is set (in fact, to judge from those of my relatives who came to this country, I'm sure it's not even a tiny bit as entertaining), I was nevertheless ready to leave for Ireland...
...film's world is a historical movement. Another sort of world is also presented: that of the nobility exiled in Germany. The gimcrack-filled hostel where they lodge perfectly establishes the decadence and staticity of their lives. The scene showing them is diverse in character and conduct; the variety of the aristocrats' feelings and actions is the substance of their social actions. But their entire milieu is doomed, simply because it does not move. Set against Renoir's virile shots of the revolutionaries, simple and full of strong light-dark contrast, the over-refined nobles stand no chance...
