Though he was not anxious to lose his protégé, Brandt could hardly object to Schütz's return to Berlin. Schütz quickly made it clear that he, has little faith in Albertz's plan to rebuild West Berlin prosperity by turning the city into a center for trade and cultural exchange between East and West. Not that he is against "building bridges," said Schütz, but he is unwilling to pay the price the Communists demand for their cooperation. The East Germans want West Berlin turned into a "Free City" without...
...five years since an airplane crash killed 106 of Atlanta's foremost cultural patrons, the city has been striving with an almost compulsive verve to rebuild civic hopes for high standing in the arts. A new rank of leaders moved up to join the survivors; in homage to the dead, the Atlanta Arts Alliance launched a drive for a $13 million cultural center (now abuilding); and the Ford Foundation gave the Atlanta Symphony $1,750,000.

Because state insurance companies rely on harried local police to conduct fire investigations, no company official has yet been found guilty of anything more serious than negligence. The maximum penalty for that is a $16 fine...
Levi has thus been intimately involved in Chicago's traumatic leadership shifts: the academic brilliance and financial decline under Robert Hutchins, whom Levi admired; the civic-minded fight to rebuild crime-ridden slums surrounding the university under Lawrence Kimpton; the drive to regain academic stature and financial stability under Beadle. Levi last week left no doubt about what he will emphasize. Said he: "To be a great and exciting university requires, above all, a great faculty...
