Israel decided to honor him with the first visa ever granted to a non-Jewish German tourist. But when the news got out, there were mutterings from unforgiving Jewish extremists, so the Israeli government told Lüth to come incognito, if at all. and fibbed to the press that his trip had been canceled. Not until his trip was over and he was back home in Hamburg last week did the story of the "traveler to Cyprus" come out. "Israel has been defiled," cried the jingoist daily Herut, but other Israelis found the situation wryly humorous. "When the Germans...
This bold Red display was typical of the changes which have transformed a green tourist land of lakes, volcanoes and picturesque Indians into a major headache for the U.S. The basic causes for the change stem directly from the Guatemalan revolution of 1944, which ended a century of dictatorship and set loose rampaging forces of nationalism and social upheaval.

The theatre world did its best for Champman's first effort. One group, calling it a major contribution to the American stage, took a full page ad in the Times urging New Yorkers to support it. The actors voluntarily cut their salaries to the legal minimum, to cut operating expenses. And after each performance...
Mobridge agreed. Five other towns, anxious for a new tourist attraction, clamored for Sitting Bull's bones too. Montana's Senator James E. Murray argued that the chief should be reburied at Montana's Custer Battlefield Cemetery, near the remains of General Custer.* And North Dakota, aroused to civic pride after 63 years, suddenly decided it prized Sitting Bull after all. The old chief's granddaughters-Mrs. Nancy Kicking Bear, Mrs. Angelique LaPointe and Mrs. Sarah Little Spotted Horse-had all agreed to Grey Eagle's project, but North Dakota's Governor Norman Brunsdale...
