...from a buxom nurse giving a G.I. a shot of penicillin to a Communist guerrilla with his intestines exposed by mortar fire. The next day I stomped flat eleven empty cans. We stuck mostly to Campbell soup cans, but threw in a sweet potato can and a cardboard chow mein container for originality. These I nailed to the walnut paneling above the fireplace. When my wife returned from her trip to a nearby drive-in, we took the hamburgers and a single hot dog and affixed them to the north wall of the dining room, then stood back and threw...
...Ohio girl who customarily works in the U.S. Air Force dependents' school in Wiesbaden, is getting 25 enthusiastic German children to tell about the days of the week in English. Later, the classes mix, sing alternate stanzas of Go Down Moses and Nach grüner Farb, mein Herz verlangt. After two weeks of Americans' visiting Germans, the German children come to the American school for a fortnight, and so it goes all year...
...pleases us anew when clothed in such velvety beauty of sound as the Spanish soprano produced last Wednesday. Still more noteworthy--because less expected--was the increased command which de los Angeles seems recently to have developed over the realm of German lieder.

...Haunting Hess's mind was a compulsive fear and hatred of Communist Russia. For years Hess was under the spell of Professor Karl Haushofer, the geopolitical genius of Naziism who provided Hitler with his slogan of Lebensraum as a pretext for aggression. Hitler was parroting Haushofer when, in Mein Kampf, he wrote of the absolute need to avoid war on two fronts. But the success of the German armies intoxicated him, and he became more and more intent on attacking Russia. In the months before the flight, Haushofer kept telling the impressionable Hess that he and he alone could...
...distillers a few years ago set up the Bourbon Institute (it is not a university) to promote exports. In Tokyo, the Japanese can buy Munsingwear undershorts, though U.S. textilemakers complain that the Japanese underprice them around the world. The Chun King Corp. of Duluth, Minn., recently began shipping chow mein in cans to Formosa. In less bizarre ways, too, some resourceful U.S. businessmen are expanding exports, which in the second quarter hit $5.5 billion, up 10% from 1961's second quarter. June was the best month for exports in five years...
