...Among them: twelve-year-old Gabriele (Clonisch), whose Schokoladeneis (Chocolate Ice Cream) has already sold 250,000 copies, although she started singing into her businessman-father's dictating machine only a few months ago; and nine-year-old Brigitte (Reisberger), who has a big hit called Lieber Pappi, Mach Mai Sonntag (Dear Daddy, Take a Day Off). Recording firms these days will audition any subadolescent, and with good reason: teen-agers account for the bulk of German record buying. Mourns Munich Disk Jockey Werner Götze, a ripe 33: "With their clannish addiction to dress, slang and beat...
...President Bernard F. Gira and Executive Vice President Herbert J. Peterson. After working as purchasing agents in the aircraft industry, the two joined forces in 1955 to make electronic instruments for the missile age. They turn out instruments that tell an aircraft's angle of attack, compute its Mach number electronically, time and program the firing of its rocket armament; there is even an instrument to measure the structural-material erosion of missiles at hypersonic speeds. With a second division making radios and navigational facilities for the CAA's airways-improvement program, Topp turned a profit...

Her tasks: teaching the girls to cope with the extra passengers and extra facilities (oxygen masks, self-contained air conditioning) of the new jets, give passengers "a sense of security" by explaining the jet's new aeronautical features and such unfamiliar terms as Mach, the measure of jet speed...

Hitting mach 10 just 132 seconds up, the boosters abruptly shut off and dropped away with their skirts. The central sustaining engine roared another 120 seconds or so, shoved the missile to its apogee 400 miles up. After a 22-minute hop through 2,700 miles, the separated nose cone splashed down...
Family Façades. Predictably, most of the girls had miserable childhoods; three-fourths came from homes broken by separation or divorce. The rest had viewed their homes as façades, papier-maché creations erected to cover a desiccated relationship, devoid of love between father and mother. Since most had seen their fathers leave home, their mothers had never made them feel welcome but had always emphasized the burden of parenthood. In rage and desperation, some girls turned hopefully to their fathers-not in an Oedipal attachment, but in hopes of nurture which, again, was denied them...
