Between 1942 and late 1943, a total of 700,000 people were slaughtered at Treblinka, more than half during the single year when Franz Paul Stangl, the gentleman commandant, was running things. Last week, in a West German federal court at Düsseldorf, Stangl, 62, went on trial on charges of supervising the murder of "at least 400,000 per sons" for motives "base, sinister and cruel...
West Germany, where advertising outlays rose 15% last year to $2.4 billion, has become Europe's largest and fastest-growing advertising market. The pace is set by a Düsseldorf agency with the unusual name of Team. The agency made its mark when a distiller gambled $60,000 to try to move several thousand cases of unsold vodka out of his warehouse. Team came up with a series of ads showing a stalwart adventurer and a bear paddling through Finnish lakes or going on African safari. The punch line: "Puschkin Vodka for tough guys."

The Japanese say that some of the German orders come from shippers who were turned down by Japanese yards that are booked to capacity for years to come. German exporters are losing their markets in China and the rest of Asia to the Japanese, and are being pushed increasingly hard even in Europe. For example, an official of Zeiss Ikon says...
...sseldorf, the Germans announced agreement on a $410 million transaction with the Soviet in which the Germans will sell 1,500 miles of pipeline and buy a 20-year supply of Russian-produced methane gas. The pipeline into West Germany will run through Czechoslovakia and into Bavaria-bypassing East Germany and giving Walter Ulbricht cause to wonder whether Bonn's activist diplomacy is turning him into Europe...
