...there is one major island where enterprise, aided by record-breaking production, has achieved a basic stability of consumers' prices. In West Germany the cost-of-living index was up a modest 16 points from 1950 levels. This truncated republic, about half the size of the old German Reich and with about three-quarters of its population (53 million), looms as the economic wonder of the democratic West. The Germans' own astonishing energy and some $5 billion in timely U.S. aid have wrought their great part in what is universally hailed as "the German miracle." Chancellor Konrad Adenauer...
Mary Stuart (adapted from Friedrich Schiller's drama by Jean Stock Goldstone and John Reich) is a great 150-year-old German classic which, despite the appeal of its heroine to English-speaking nations, seldom turns up in their theaters.

In the 19203 they were followed by Otto Rank (who proved to be suffering from manic-depressive psychosis that had gone unsuspected in the inner circle of analysts), by Wilhelm Reich, and finally by the fawning Ferenczi, whose lifelong emotional troubles were compounded at the end by pernicious anemia and organic brain damage.

Under Bismarck the Prussians won, and the Iron Chancellor set up the German Reich that lasted until the defeat in World War I. Germany's first real experiment with democracy was the Weimar Republic of the 1920s. But despite the efforts of men of vision like Friedrich Ebert and Gustav Stresemann. German democracy was splintered from the start by regionalism, factionalism, and, above...
...than doubled the country's industrial production since 1950. Last year Germany manufactured more than 1,000,000 trucks and autos, became the world's second largest automaker. Steel output reached 2,000,000 tons a month for the first time, exceeding that of Hitler's Reich in 1938 and pushing Germany into first place in Europe, third in the world. Since 1951, Germany has jumped from fourth to second place in shipbuilding. Thanks to huge exports of $7.5 billion last year, gold and foreign-exchange reserves total $4.6 billion, more than triple West Germany...
