...cats even fatter. In Germany, where the culture places greater emphasis on making it to the top of a company than on lining your pockets once you get there, option giveaways still consume only about 5% of total corporate profits. At the German chemical company BASF, CEO Jurgen Strube collects about $300,000 worth of options a year. "In the U.S., you have CEOs who earn more than $100 million on their options," says BASF vice president Hans-Otto Brinkkotter. "We avoid that...
That afternoon Churchill, who had just been ceremoniously saluted at home as an artist by Cartoonist Strube started out to paint. Four cars followed with newsmen and photographers. Churchill fled by motorboat and retired to his 15-room suite in the Grand Hotel. Next day he made amends by posing for bathing-suit photographs. (Observed Milan's weekly Oggi: "Churchill has very thin ankles, absolutely disproportionate to his weight . . . Nobody can say Churchill in a bathing suit is very attractive . . .") Then he made arrangements to go on a painting trip in a motorboat. It banged into a pier...
There is a brighter side to the record. The emaciated British dailies have no room for the cuff-shooting political pundits who clutter up the U.S. press. Instead, they often make their points through cartoonists who are real caricaturists: alongside the artful sharpshooting of David Low, Strube, Vicky, Illingworth and even the Daily Worker's "Gabriel," much U.S. political cartooning seems as subtle as a paleolithic sledge hammer. London's newspapers and weekly journals alike print comment and criticism more literate and provocative than in most of the U.S. press. And the Sundays, led by the urbane, open...

First visiting maestro will be Ernest Hoffmann '18, who has proved his ability to many Cambridge music lovers in his former conducting of the State Symphony Orchestra. He will present a march by Strube called "Harvard Cruiser." This will be followed by von Weber's Overture to "Oberon," with Three German Dances by Mozart and Dvorak's "New World" Symphony bringing the group to a close...
...when the average German thinks of the average Englishman he does not think of Mr. Baldwin in the very least. Still less does he think of Strube's Little Man. . . . He visualizes a tall, spare man, immaculately dressed in top hat and frock coat, wearing spats and an eyeglass, and gripping a short but aggressive pipe in an enormous jaw. . . . To the German mind this immaculate figure is inspired by bitter jealousy of all foreign countries, by diabolical cunning, by ruthless materialism disguised under a revolting wrapper of unctuous self-righteousness. To him, the average Englishman is a clever...
