...pressed Frenchman has to pay $70 to $100 for a suit (or $200 if it is custom made) and $2 to have it dry cleaned, about $8 for a shirt to go with it. Movies on the Champs-Elysees cost $2, and a three-room apartment in a new Parisian building $120 to $150 a month.

...Munich's Eve bar, where the B-girls are affluent and fat businessmen roar like jungle cats, there is always something special for the sex-exotic eye. Maybe a dark-tressed Parisian stripper, full-bodied and beautiful, mounted on a prancing white horse. Or a trainer, three tigers and one notable nude, all together in a cage...
