...highest point in history for its shortest-term borrowing, partly because only the week before it had drawn heavily on short-term funds with a $2 billion offer of 320-day bills at 4.86%.

...Stadium. But right from the start, Navy drove home its blocks with clean precision, turned loose darting, stubby (5 ft. 8 in., 185 lbs.') Halfback Joe Bellino for three touchdowns.

Yet the weekly German-language Aufbau (Reconstruction) is one of the biggest (circ. 30,129) and most influential foreign-language papers in the U.S. Edited by stocky, effervescent Dr. (of Law) Manfred George, 66, Aufbau is an outstanding example of a paper that has bucked a 50-year-long decline in the U.S. foreign-language press.* This week, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Waldorf dinner, Aufbau can and does...
