Today only three of Spandau's original postwar prisoners remain: Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach, 59; Armaments Minister Albert Speer, 61; and that most mysterious of Hitler's odd coterie, Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess, 72. To keep this trio confined, Russia, France, Britain and the U.S still maintain a special four-power commission, and on a monthly rotation send 79 civilians, officers and men to run Spandau...
...Iolanda Balas, the current world record holder in the ladies' high jump, went to Budapest-but only as a spectator, wearing an Ace bandage. She was, according to Rumanian track officials, suffering from a "calcified right tendon," and might never be able to compete again.

...devoid of commercialism and pervaded by an air of easy familiarity. During the day, concertgoers chatted with the performers on the street, dropped in on rehearsals to turn pages for the players and to delight in Russia's Oistrakh and America's Katchen arguing about a Schubert trio in German: "What difference does it make, Julius, whether we play it at your tempo or mine? We are going to have to play it the way the master tells us." As it worked out, the moderate tempo they agreed upon was much too slow for the cellist...
