Hamburg's influential daily. Die Welt, had called him "the favorite child of West Germany's economic miracle." Fortnight ago, shortly after he had startled West Germany by admitting that he could not meet July's bills (TIME. Aug. 3), Industrialist Willy Schlieker, 48, was declared bankrupt by a Hamburg court. Up for liquidation was Schlieker's entire domain of 23 shipbuilding, steelmaking and trading companies that grossed $200 million last year...

...kisses her quickly to the nape, but when she turns expectantly to embrace him, he has turned away to get his coat. Then to a night club where the urgency of her voice fails to distract him from the vulgar gyrations of the dancer, and finally to the industrialist's home where a huge party is in progress. One sees them go their separate ways, Giovanni attempting to make it with Tina, Lidia refusing to take any part in the proceedings and eventually going off with a man she's mever met. But she to too honest to kiss...
