Germans found it hard to imagine that a magnate of Goergen's stripe could be involved in fraud, especially since defense contracts represent only 15% of Henschel's business. "It would hardly seem worthwhile for a company as large and important as Henschel to cheat for such a minor sum," said a Bonn corporate lawyer. Many Germans were jarred, too, by the blunt manner of Goergen's arrest and imprisonment, especially since no charge was filed against him. The uneasiness about how he was being treated was heightened last week when he suffered a heart attack...
...more fundamental question is whether the Khrushchev line denotes only a temporary, tactical change in Communism or a more profound one. All Communists, no matter of what stripe, still share the aim of defeating capitalism; but this statement, while as true as ever, is no longer a sufficient analysis of the situation. Some of the metamorphoses that Communism has undergone may have begun as tactical moves which in effect make Communism more attractive, but may end up meaning more-for example, Yugoslavia's compromises with free enterprise, the Italian Communist Party's championship of the small businessman...
...this point the Bulldogs began to employ the strategy which had throttled the Crimson at New Haven last month They positioned two guards and a forward near the mid-court stripe and froze the ball until Harvard was forced into a man-to-man defense.

...Christmas music Berliners have heard in more than two years had nothing to do with Bach or Handel. It was the ugly stutter of jackhammers tearing gates in the Berlin Wall, the whine of cranes removing zigzag barriers from heavily guarded crossing points. Then, late last week, the candy-stripe customs poles went up, and thousands of grinning, gift-laden West Berliners swarmed through the Wall for their first reunions with eastern sector relatives since August 1961. A long row of glowing charcoal braziers warmed the approach to the Oberbaum Bridge, and two brightly lit Christmas trees guarded its western...
...Stripe Down the Hood. At least, the new Formula Vee (for Volkswagen) class seems inflation-proof. Anybody who has a spare Beetle lying around the garage can turn it into a reasonable facsimile of a Grand Prix car-cigar-shaped body, roll bar and all-by buying a kit for $945. An extra $1,000 buys a brand-new Volkswagen engine, plus a special gearbox, rear axle and suspension-and $2,495 buys the whole 825-lb. bomb from the factory. The family sedan can even be raced as is: just painting a stripe down the hood or a number...
