...manpowerisation of a complexe industrielle before taking off for le weekend in le country. German now is splattered with such terms as discount house, shopping center, ready to wear and cash and carry. And the latest expression in Frankfurt ad agencies is Ziehn wir's am Flaggenmast hoch und sehn wir wer gruesst -Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes...
...were qualities that Hitler recognized as essentials in a subordinate if his own plans were to work. Keitel not only carried out the Führer's orders with diligence, but did not even permit himself-much less his own subordinates-to question their morality. The infamous Nacht und Nebel order of 1941, under which Resistance suspects from France to Rumania were hauled to their deaths in German concentration camps under cover of "night and fog," met with Keitel's most self-righteous concurrence.

...Alfried Felix Alwyn Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, 58, fifth-generation ruler of the Krupp empire, last week's dilution of ownership, no matter how tiny, could only signify changing times in a life that has seen many changes.

Flick, Flick. Ferry Porsche doggedly refuses to tie himself more closely to Volkswagen, just as doggedly refuses to go after the mass market. Porsche owners are such as Elke Sommer, Herbert von Karajan, Prince Rainier, Ingemar Johansson, Juan Carlos of Spain and Krupp Heir Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. Like Porsche owners everywhere, they flick their headlights in salute as they pass on the highway, even at 100 m.p.h. U.S. highways now boast 29,000 Porsches, and half of Porsche's production is sold in the U.S.; demand is so strong that U.S. buyers must now wait...
