...year-old Hauptsturmführer Franz Rasch, a much decorated Waffen SS commando. Assigned to deliver the lists in Stockholm, he is betrayed by his bosses. His trail leads to neutral Ireland and England and finally back to Germany. There the disillusioned Rasch attempts to capture vital files from Schloss Wewelsburg, the Black Camelot that Himmler assembled as a Teutonic perversion of King Arthur's court. In one of the best siege narratives since The Guns of Navarone, Rasch and other embittered SS men infiltrate the monstrous castle at the same time that it is being destroyed on Himmler...
...biggest problem outstanding, as Rabin and Kissinger met at week's end at Schloss Gymnich, a guesthouse outside Bonn where Rabin had been installed by his West German hosts, was control of the Sinai passes. Egypt has insisted all along that Israel must completely withdraw from the Mitla and Giddi passes (see map), the most strategic points on the peninsula. Israel has similarly insisted, for internal politics as much as for anything else, that its defense requires a military presence in the passes.

It reached Schloss Klessheim, the U.S. quarters for the two-day Salzburg meeting, as Ford was hosting a luncheon there for Sadat that ranged from trout à la meunière and spinach en branches to butter pecan ice cream ring with chocolate sauce. Both Presidents expressed immediate pleasure at the news...
Flying in after the NATO summit in Brussels and a brief stopover in Madrid to visit Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Ford was lodged in Schloss Klessheim, an 18th century baroque chateau with a pink façade. Sadat, eager to size up Ford but unwilling to visit Washington until there is more progress toward peace with Israel, stayed at the elegant, 525-year-old Schloss Fuschl, a hunting lodge...
...other is the only thing that really interests him. It is thus natural for him to see Ludwig's molars as the mirror of his soul, while ignoring the fact that quite another side of the royal character was expressed in such glorious excesses as the romantic Schloss Neuschwanstein, the rococo Linderhof, and the unfinished imitation of Versailles, Schloss Herrenchiemsee. Ludwig's edifice complex may nearly have bankrupted his kingdom and cost him his throne, but he was, lunatic or not, the last great master builder of the Romantic...
