...France. Whatever the yardstick for the good life, at least some of it still seems to be outside Germany. In pursuit of that grail, some 800,000 West Germans have established second homes abroad -- in Tuscany, along the Grande Corniche overlooking the Riviera, in the verdant valleys of South Tirol. They have also become the world's most traveled tourists: last year some 28 million West Germans took holidays abroad...
...eight-thousanders. And many of them, including Mount Everest, were conquered by mountaineers who fudged a little: they used bottled air. No one had ever conquered all 14 -- much less without oxygen -- until last week, when Reinhold Messner, 42, a brash, blond-bearded native of Italy's South Tirol, stood triumphantly atop Lhotse, the world's fourth highest mountain.

In 1926 Mussolini clapped him into Rome's infamous Queen of Heaven prison on the banks of the Tiber, where he languished for a year and a half until the Holy...
...mood for hard bargaining. It planned to make concessions from the very first, in the hope of trading territory for Allied good will and economic help. A slight "rectification" of the French-Italian border would be acceptable. Italians would not argue long or loud to keep the South Tirol. Greece could have the Dodecanese Islands. Italy was resigned to losing Libya, including Cyrenaica - provided Yugoslavia did not become a colonial power at Italy's expense...
