...rows of low roofs are part of its serene charm. But last week, plans were under way for a 52-story skyscraper on the site of the old railroad station, Gare Montparnasse. As a gesture to the bohemians of Montparnasse, the promoters promised, in addition to a 1,000-room hotel, a shopping center and three floors of parking space, to erect 25 acres of artists' studios. The only question was what kind of art could be produced in the atmosphere of a Left Bank Rockefeller Center. General de Gaulle's artistic czar, Andre Malraux, Minister of State...
Before 50 people crowded into the back room of a corner beer hall in Communist East Berlin, a Socialist from West Berlin made a violently anti-Communist speech last week. "The U.S.S.R. has not given up its hope to rule the world," said Socialist Deputy Chairman Josef Braun. "The occupation rights of our Western friends in Berlin are our only protection.

But despite the obvious success of pioneer British programs, many hospital staffs strongly oppose extending the plan. Main reason is fear of mom. Complained one nurse: "You just can't do things that have to be done, when mothers are around." Another: "Mothers can be very difficult, in some cases because...
...Robertson (Wells Fargo), Clint Walker (Cheyenne)-one day these he-manly specimens were just so many sport coats on Hollywood's infinite rack. The next, they were TV's own beef trust. Their teeth were glittering, their biceps bulging, their pistols blazing right there in the living room; it was more fun, as they say in Texas, than raisin' hell and puttin' a chunk under...
