West Germany's patriarchal (83) Chancellor Konrad Adenauer journeyed last week to Cologne's Roon-Strasse and the site of a synagogue first battered by the Nazis and later demolished by Allied bombs. There, in the newly rebuilt synagogue, he observed Jewish custom by wearing a hat while taking part in the consecration ceremonies. Der Alte briefly explained his presence to the congregation, including some survivors of the mass murder of most of Cologne's Jews: "I want to show all Germans that the Federal Republic intends to be a shield of order and a haven...

He earned $600 a summer. Winters he built and sold radios. He also rebuilt two nearly wrecked cars, thus became, at 16, one of Marne's rare two-car owners...
...that there will be any drop in quality, points out that under its new curriculum it will need much less help from volunteer clinicians.

Last week, for 24 hours, Deadwood (pop. 4,000) broiled under the windswept fingers of a forest fire that threatened to cook it once...
...steppes make it one of the earth's most inhospitable areas. But from this Eurasian heartland came Aryans to populate the West, and across its pink sands marched generations of world conquerors. In 329 B.C. Alexander the Great sacked Samarkand ("Place of Sugars"), a city already centuries old. Rebuilt, Samarkand became one of the central depots on the great Silk Road from Byzantium to China, and flourished as a brilliant seat of Arab civilization, only to be destroyed again by Genghis Khan. Near the end of the 13th century, Marco Polo reported it once more a "very great...
