Their wedding a year ago in Hohenschwangau was played as a Bavarian fairy tale come true. Now it seems that Princess Anna-Maria Elizabeth, 25, prefers a local innkeeper to her husband, Prince Max Emanuel von Thurn und Taxis, 34. The prince, she said, "couldn't fulfill his marital duties." This was too much for Hohenschwangau's silent majority, who took to the streets with placards to register a vote of confidence in the prince's powers and to offer Maria a choice: love him or leave him.

...since the 1930s, when Adolf Hitler rallied the German people with his guttural call for Ruhe und Ordnung, has Western Europe been so preoccupied with the problem of law and order. This fact is curious in itself, since Europe is suffering from none of the specific agonies that are presently afflicting the U.S. There is no angry debate over Viet Nam to polarize European populations, no comparable student concern with the draft, no race problem of remotely similar scope...
Meanwhile, the Louisiana debacle has apparently taught Hickel that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of indemnity.

...dirty world has suddenly caught up with the citizens of Hilton Head. Last summer, the American subsidiary of Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik, West Germany's giant chemical company, quietly bought up 1,800 acres on the mainland near Beaufort, less than four miles away, and announced that it was going to build a $200 million petrochemical complex. It will be South Carolina's largest single industrial development. It also promises to be a big source of pollution...
