...taking form in the suburbs of Marseille (TIME, Feb. 2, 1948; June 12, 1950). They found plenty of fault with the 300-family apartment house. The quarters were cramped, the master bedrooms offered hardly any privacy from the living rooms, and windowless kitchens would make it hard for the pungent odors of French cooking to escape, or for French housewives to throw their garbage into the street. Last week, with the building nearing completion, vinophilic Frenchmen were talking about the most serious flaw of all.

With U.S. aid, Vienna has achieved a fitful glow of prosperity, which includes even the traditional rich blobs of Schlagobers (whipped cream) floating on Vienna's coffee. But what delighted Viennese stomachs most during the holiday season were fat geese and pungent salamis imported from Austria's Eastern European neighbors. The Russians are hoping that, when the U.S. ECAid ends in 1952, need to trade with Communist Eastern Europe will pull Austria inexorably into the Red sphere...
