Working with U.S. military police, West German agents last month arrested 29 people for illegal possession of heroin in the southern town of Oppenheim. The raid netted 24 American G.I.s from near by Anderson Barracks. Also caught were two Turkish immigrant workers and three West German women, including one 24-year-old who was the ring's alleged leader. In all, police seized quantities of heroin worth $164,000 at street prices. Even though American soldiers were involved, U.S. military personnel have long ceased to be the main source of West Germany's narcotics problem. Trafficking and addiction...
Some notable laggards are makers of petrochemicals and oil refiners. Kaiser Industries Corp. Vice President Louis Oppenheim says there is "some reluctance" in the steel industry to expand capacity substantially. The key reason, he asserts, is that rising costs of labor, energy and raw materials, plus the industry's inability to raise prices fast enough, result in "a return on investment that is too low." Another factor in the reluctance of businessmen to spend more is the still high cost of long-term borrowing. Says Litton Industries Financial Affairs Vice President Joseph T. Casey: "In our spending outlook...
Editor Michele Slung offers a bright lineup of female sleuths dating from Victorian times to the 1940s. Aside from Mignon Eberhart and E. Phillips Oppenheim, the authors will be unfamiliar to all but cultists. Even the worst of them, though, retain a kind of campy charm. For if the paraphernalia of detection have not changed much over the past 100 years, the women clearly have. In The Stir Outside the Café Royal (1898), demure Miss Van Snoop captures a notorious murderer and then weeps for 30 minutes. Observes the author: "She had earned the luxury of hysterics...
Many of the handicapped, for whom a car is a pair of legs, complain that under those conditions they cannot buy enough gas to get around. Garrett Oppenheim, whose legs are crippled, figures that he can continue to drive 20 miles from his home in Rockland County, N.Y., to his job as an editor for Medical Economics magazine in Oradell, N.J., but otherwise, if the shortage continues, "I'd be stranded. No shopping, no errands, no visits." He finds that a threat not only to his mobility but to his self-respect. "After I got a hand-controlled...
These matters do not afflict body art to the same degree, even though the atmosphere of suspension and privilege peculiar to the recent avant-garde remains. But the trouble with most body pieces is that they are either so small in conception as to be negligible-for instance, Dennis Oppenheim slowly tearing off a section of his fingernail-or so grotesque in their implications, as with poor Schwarzkogler, that they amount to overkill. Triviality or threat: take your choice...
