...mark piece, worth about 50?, and the beverages were local wine, fruit juice or the neighborhood mineral water, Apollinaris, because no burgher or Hausfrau seemed excited enough to drown his sorrows or celebrate his winnings with Sekt before turning the family Volkswagen back to Bonn, Düsseldorf or Cologne...
...most important picture that Larry Rivers ever painted was Washington Crossing the Delaware. He was only redoing Emanuel Leutze's heroic tableau, painted in 1851 in Düsseldorf, which was in itself a pretty dubious romanticization of the past.

In the Koprivnica area of Yugoslavia last spring, a Düsseldorf status seeker shelled out $12,500 for a 660-lb. European brown bear. That was just a warmup; Koprivnica gamekeepers are carefully pampering an even bigger bruin for the same hunter to pot this fall-at a cost of $15,000. A run-of-the-hill red stag costs about...
