Never before had the myth of German cleanliness been questioned so rudely, and the Bundesrepublik erupted in indignant protest. In a full-page advertisement in West Germany's weekly magazine Der Spiegel, a family of three was shown in impeccable dress-but all with pigs' faces. Beneath them were the words: "This year, in the average German family, the child will wear his underwear four days, the wife five days and the husband seven days." The ad was placed by the obviously phony "Action Committee for Fresh Underwear," presumably an invention of German soft-goods manufacturers...
...basement of a St. Pauli curio shop has emerged the St. Pauli Nachrichten, a 15? tabloid whose circulation has swelled almost as remarkably as the Sexwelle itself. First published in early 1968 by burly Hamburger Helmut Rosenberg, 33, owner of the curio shop, and by a former Der Spiegel photographer named Günter Zint, the rag has grown from a four-page novelty with a press run of 10,000 to a twice-monthly 16-page paper with a circulation of 700,000, including 3,000 subscribers from as far away as South Africa and Australia...

There was a good deal of speculation about what kind of people had showed up and how they would react under stress. Spiegel was not pleased with the hippies and was afraid that...
Under the Bridge. The villagers of Filetto di Camarda were perhaps more ready to forgive than some of Defregger's own countrymen. Though a few of them called for revenge, and a survivor provided Der Spiegel with lurid details about the executions, one old lady spoke for many when she said, "For us, it is all water under the bridge." It was not quite so in Munich, where the city's powerful daily, Süddeutsche Zeitung, called for the bishop's resignation, and some Catholics whose children had been confirmed by Defregger demanded that their children...
