...amused by your article on Beate Uhse's West German "sporting goods" stores [May 2]. But no wonder the poor gal doesn't try to sell her wares here. She would be hauled into jail on her first day, while next door an American sporting goods store, selling enough guns to kill every cop in Chicago, would be within...
...contractors have found it prudent to hire 2,072 retired military officers, three times the number of ten years ago.

In Washington, D.C., a lady reporter turned heads at the White House correspondents' dinner with a bare-midriff, see-through pajama set. Being diplomatic (or missing the point), George Romney asked...
...each Western government to keep the official price of its money within 1% of its stated value. In an effort to hold the line, Denmark and Norway suspended all dealings in foreign money. France, Britain, Italy, Belgium and other countries were forced to dip into their reserves and sell dollars to maintain the official price of their own currencies. Despite all this, in stunning defiance of the world's financial experts, West Germany's political leaders at week's end ruled out any upward revaluation of the mark from its present official level...
