...south from Travemunde, Ulbricht's work gangs are laboring hard to close the remaining gaps in the new wall. At the West German town of Schlutup, a legal crossing point, the East Germans have put on a friendly face for tourists driving into East Germany from Scandinavia. No barbed wire is visible, and the armed guards are stationed some 400 yds. beyond the border. A few yards across the line from Schlutup in East Germany actually lives a West German family. Two young boys wearing soldier caps play on the road, marching solemnly between East and West...
...each standard pornographic novel in chaste green jackets labeled "The Traveler's Companion Series," and invariably sells out at 3.75 francs (75?) a copy. For bulk sales, he finds that the best markets are France and, in descending but inexplicable order, Venezuela, Lebanon, Italy, Greece, Mexico and Scandinavia. Some 25 to 30 new Companions are issued each year, and Girodias figures that at least five people read each copy. "Which makes," he says, flashing the sinister leer, "an average of 600,000 people corrupted every year...
...Ricci calls Switzerland his home, although he is rarely there. One of the most widely traveled concert artists ("If I wake up twice in the same bed, I think it is yesterday"), he departs this week, after 3½ grueling days of recording, for a two-week tour of Scandinavia, plans an additional tour of South Africa and Europe before returning to the U.S. in January for a cross-country series of performances. He still suffers attacks of nerves when he returns to the familiar stage on which he appeared as a child 32 years ago. "I have a recurrent...

But today there is an increasing shift in emphasis to the drama. From the indoor stages of Scandinavia to the open-air théâtres antiques of Roman Provence, there is a heady international mosaic. Molière's L'Ecole des Femmes, for example, will be done in Lallan Scots accents at Edinburgh (hoot, monsieur...
During World War II, doctors in The Netherlands and Scandinavia noted a curious fact: despite the stresses of Nazi occupation, the death rate from coronary artery disease was slowly dropping. Not until long after the war-1950, in fact-did they get a hint of the reason. That year, Sweden's Haqvin Malmros showed that the sinking death rate neatly coincided with increasingly severe restrictions on fatty foods. That same year the University of California's Dr. Laurance Kinsell, timing oxidation rates of blood fats, stumbled onto the discovery that many vegetable fats cause blood cholesterol levels...
