East show and, with all the care of a shoeless man in a room with a rattlesnake, conducted an interview with the sophisticated lady whose friends, it developed, call her Dolly...

He is Germany's Wiener-Schnitzel Winchell, Gossipist Hannes Obermaier, who writes a daily Page 2 column for Munich's tabloid Abendzeitung called "Hunter Jots Down''-the name Hunter coming from a brand of Dutch cigarettes that Obermaier likes. In the eight years that Obermaier has chronicled high life in Europe's low places, Abendzeitung's circulation has shot from 17,000 to 105,000. His bosses give him much...
