...this week over new arrangements guaranteeing free transit to and from West Berlin and establishing more contact between the two parts of the divided city. Nonetheless, the East Germans may at the same time wish to indicate their displeasure over Soviet pressure tactics by making a gesture to the spike-bearded Ulbricht, who stubbornly resisted plans for even the most limited accommodation with the West...
...real nice place to raise your kids up"), where the Mothers are stranded. Another part takes place in a cavernous recording studio, where Zappa can fleetingly be seen leading the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of his composition 200 Motels, which is made up of equal parts of Spike Jones, John Cage and Buddy Holly. There are episodes involving lust-crazed groupies, a sleazy impresario named Ranee Muhammitz (Theodore Bikel) and a character called Larry the Dwarf, who is played by Ringo Starr made up to look exactly like Frank Zappa.

Americans who missed the fish show could catch another Harrison exhibit this week in La Jolla. Called La Jolla Promenade, it displays snails being nibbled by white ducks. Whatever the ducks leave will be served...
...Athens Architect Nicholas Hadjimichalis, who has been advising Jackie Onassis on a new Skorpios villa (he was out of Greece at the time of the arrests and was not charged). On the third try, the prosecution said. Panaghoulis gave a seemingly friendly guard detailed written instructions, including advice to spike a colleague's orangeade with sleeping tablets and to collect the guns of other guards ("If any barrack-room orderly sees you taking them, say that you are playing a practical joke"). When the appointed night arrived, Lady Fleming decided it was unwise to use her own car, called...
