Craigville Beach is cold and deserted in April except for a progression of Christian fellowship groups which each weekend troop through the Craigville Inn. One weekend the Harvard-Radeliffe group went on a retreat there, along with about 30 Wellesley girls...
Hitler's birthplace, a two-story stucco house at Vorstadt 219 in the Austrian border town of Braunau am Inn, is no longer marked as a shrine; only informed visitors can pick it out. His Alpine retreat at Obersalzberg, which survived the war, was dynamited by the Bavarian government. The remains of the dynamited Führerbunker, a concrete redoubt and command post beneath the Reich Chancellery, are now a grassy mound, situated fittingly enough in the narrow, 110-yd. corridor of no man's land between East and West Berlin. Countless Adolf Hitler squares or streets...
...Skimming" Profits. The companies' winning streak started shortly after Invisible Billionaire Howard Hughes bought the Desert Inn and the Sands in 1967. Rumors ran through Wall Street: the Strip was becoming respectable.

...plot of The Beaux' Stratagem is as chestnutty as they come. Two young purse-poor gallants pose as master and servant in order to wed wealthily. One sometimes feels that money is the English equivalent of Nirvana. The country inn, where much of the action takes place, is the English dramatic equivalent of the French bedroom. It offers an almost novelistic diversity of characters and encounters. Prelates and highwaymen, maids and matrons meet and mingle-strangers in the night who may, with a little bit of luck, become intimates for the night. Mine host, Boniface, has given his name...
