...private practice would be destroyed so that they could devote full time to serving "people's medical establishments." The result: in eight months 813 doctors, 2,393 teachers and about 200 professors-including the rector of the University of Jena (TIME, Sept. 1)-fled to the West. At Leipzig's biggest X-ray clinic, only seven radiologists remained out of an original staff of 27; at East Berlin's biggest hospital, only eleven gynecologists were left of a staff...
...typical socialist wedding took place in Leipzig last week. Time: 3 on Saturday afternoon. Place: Culture Room of the People's Owned Iron and Steel Works. On the stage sits the factory's string orchestra, in the audience a couple of hundred "workers' delegates" looking forward to the free drinks. At a barked command comes the sound of marching feet and in tramp flag-bearing comrades (male and female) from the parachute group of the paramilitary "Association for Sports and Technology." The orchestra strikes up a Beethoven minuet, and through the lane of parachutists come the bride...
...manner, with coldly precise and mathematically measured accents. Defying convention, Richter brought a dynamic new approach to his Bach reading. His performances proved so brilliantly illuminating that he was offered the top job in the world of German Protestant church music, Bach's own post of Thomaskantor in Leipzig; Richter refused so he could stay in Munich, where he developed a fine 100-voice Bach choir.

The students of Leipzig University were his special concern; he volunteered to serve as minister to the Evangelical Studentengemeinde. This organization was no more political than a campus branch of the Y.M.C.A., but after the Hungarian massacre last year, the Reds grew jumpy about any non-Communist student organization-especially one with so opiniated a pastor...
...eight months before Pastor Schmutzler was brought to trial, while the Reds evidently tried to break his spirit. Last week 150 hand-picked "workers" and "observers" were assembled in the Leipzig district court for a show trial. Western newsmen were barred, and even the Communist papers significantly omitted their usual lush descriptions of the defendant's cringing and pleading for clemency. Siegfried Schmutzler's sentence: five years at hard labor. Top churchmen throughout East and West Germany protested, but they knew that in a real sense the sentence represented a victory for unbreakable Pastor Schmutzler. Said Hamburg University...
