...raconteur of such Parsons-Hopper-Lyons-Kilgallen glimpses of the jet set at play is not named Louella, Hedda, Leonard or Dorothy. He is Germany's Wiener-Schnitzel Winchell, Gossipist Hannes Obermaier, who writes a daily Page 2 column for Munich's tabloid Abendzeitung called "Hunter Jots Down''-the name Hunter coming from a brand of Dutch cigarettes that Obermaier likes. In the eight years that Obermaier has chronicled high life in Europe's low places, Abendzeitung's circulation has shot from 17,000 to 105,000. His bosses give him much...
...always, Grofé's musical method was simple: if you want to evoke the idea of a gun fight in a saloon, fire a gun; if it is fire engines you are after, ring a fire bell.

It is a kind of bored preoccupation with familiar vices, treated with tabloid sensationalism, or written off in psychological clichés, but too rarely measured against sin and salvation, human striving and human failure...
...grounds fitted with tennis courts and a swimming pool, the European edition of 150,000 goes out to armed forces people from Iceland to Morocco. The Darmstadt editorial staff of 94 is supplemented by bureaus and district offices in nine countries. The paper they produce is a 24-page tabloid largely filled with wire service news and the familiar staples of U.S. journalism: comics (in color on Sunday), crossword puzzles and features. The similar Pacific Stars and Stripes, published in Tokyo, distributes its 61,000 press run from Pakistan to the Aleutian Islands...
