...left-leaning writers and thinkers of Group 47, whose informal club includes such bestselling writers as Novelist Günter Grass (The Tin Drum) and Playwright Rolf Hochhuth (The Deputy). They think that Willy Brandt and his Socialists would be a welcome change. Grass is currently on a campaign tour for Brandt. Twenty-five leading writers have contributed to a campaign book entitled Pleadings for a New Government. Grass's contribution was a partisan poem, Hochhuth's an essay in pseudo economics arguing that while Germany's rich are getting richer, the proletarians are being lulled into...
...concert tour of Europe and the Middle East this summer under State Department sponsorship gives Marlboro the privilege of being the first complete festival exported from the U.S. It is an orchestra no commercial organization could afford to keep together for long, in which the first violins, for instance, include Alexander Schneider of the Budapest Quartet, and one of four violists is Soloist Jorge Mester.

His chuckles lasted all the way to the Rumanian border, where Soviet border guards, muttering about "passport irregularities," whisked him off his tour bus and back to Kiev. There he was slapped into a guarded hotel room and visited by three suave but hopeful Soviet agents, who, it seemed, read other people...
...years ago gave up a promising career as a chemist to play pro golf, Thomson is frankly anti-American. "I've always been one to keep the Yanks at their distance," he says, and he diligently keeps his own-by refusing to compete on the big-money U.S. tour. But by one standard, at least, Thomson at 35 ranks as one of the game's top stars: he has probably won more national championships than any other golfer in the world.
