Genevieve's success as a decorator is evident in the atmosphere of the Club. With a twist of odd fabric for a curtain, a dangling red shaded lamp, and a small record player equipped with Charles Trenet records, she achieves a complete and quiet atmosphere for the Champagne lounge on the second flood. A "Cocteau machine," which relays the orders for Rose or Alsatain wines from downstairs, completes the picture. In the restaurant on the ground floor, a strategically placed modern lamp or a bull fight poster are some of the fitting additions to the twenty-five checkered cloth covered...

Among those newly arrested are four of the known leaders of the Freikorps Deutschland, a semimilitary, anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic and anti-Masonic organization that was formed in 1951. The jailed leaders: Hermann Lamp, an unreconstructed ex-SS sergeant; Helmuth Beck-Broichsitter, onetime major in the Grossdeutschland Division, who is also the chairman of a strutting veterans' organization called Bruderschaft; Alfred Frauenfeld, pre-Anschluss Nazi leader in Vienna; Eberhard Hawranke, ex-Brownshirt...
