...Helga but Helga," pants the copy accompanying a nude layout in the December Penthouse, "and Helga is her name." While there is demonstrably a girl hi the Penthouse pictures, there is no Helga, and Helga is not her name. She is Model Marlene Appelt, and when she learned in Munich last week that she was on display in Penthouse, she was fit to be clothed. She remembers posing for German Photographer Michael Holtz last spring. But, she claims, "I was paid a piddling fee, and I was never informed that I was to be sold to Penthouse. If Michael...
...what it has always seemed to the Orthodox-the road to godlessness. Quietly symbolic of this reverse evolution is Rabbi Alexander Moshe Schindler, the roundish, cigar-smoking World War II ski trooper who was chosen to replace Rabbi Eisendrath as the U.A.H.c.'s president. Schindler was born in Munich 47 years ago. He joined the flood of refugees who fled to the U.S. in the late 1930s, eventually becoming the U.A.H.C.'S director of education and-six years ago-its vice president. Unlike Eisendrath, Schindler was raised in a traditional Jewish household. "We are recognizing the worth...
...weeks ago, an event that had been won by the Soviet Union for 18 years straight. But, said the Communist youth newspaper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, the real roots of the problem lay in the fact that the players had lost their proletarian humility. Since their stunning gold-medal win in Munich, it wrote, the players had turned into overconfident performers whose once brilliant strategies had become "unimaginative and stereotyped." Soviet Basketball Federation officials, the paper charged, "created a climate of total permissiveness" for the team's star players, who began to think of themselves as "irreplaceable." Hence the team...
...prize in chemistry went to Ernst Otto Fischer, 54, of Munich's Technical University and Geoffrey Wilkinson, 52, of London University's Imperial College of Science and Technology. Working independently, the two men explored organometallic compounds, a marriage of hydrocarbon compounds with metals like iron and chromium. Although such unusual combinations had long been known, it was Fischer and Wilkinson who first identified and explained the structure of a special class of organometallics, called sandwich compounds, that seemed to defy all known chemical rules. In these compounds, Fischer and Wilkinson found, the hydrocarbon molecules hold the metal atom...
With less experimental finesse, perhaps, but with greater intellectual capacity, another Viennese, Konrad Lorenz, began his studies of ducks and a gaggle of other animals in early childhood. Since then, in Austria and, after 1951, at the Max Planck Institute of Behavioral Physiology near Munich, he confirmed that his animal subjects inherited certain instincts, but that other kinds of behavior are learned or "imprinted." The newborn duckling will be imprinted to follow the first moving object it sees, whether it is its mother, a cardboard box or a balloon...
