...coalition government that took office last month. He has never run for election and has never before accepted a government office of any kind, preferring always to remain in the background. Until recently, he operated out of an office so small that he could fit in only one visitor at a time. For the past eight years, however, he has been deputy chairman-and the organizational brains-of Willy Brandt's Social Democratic Party...
...spell take the visitor too firmly and his ambition wavers, his memory clouds. That, in Hawaii, is a pleasant affliction known as "Polynesian paralysis." But one thing that is most emphatically not suffering from paralysis in Hawaii is the tourist business. Since statehood and the jets arrived, tourism has taken off like a surfer riding one of the 25-ft. "Castle Break" curls at Makaha Beach. In 1960, there were 296,517 mainland visitors to the state. In 1966, there will be 700,000. The most conservative estimate predicts 1,000,000 visitors by 1970, the most optimistic...
...Oppernockety. From all indications, Cerf runs a happy shop as well as a contented stable. "They're all prima donnas," he chortles. "We're a firm of prima donnas!"

He once installed a parking meter in Cerf's private washroom, probably because Cerf himself started the local bathroom jokes by placing two copies of Lindbergh...
...Moscow's Red Square last week acted much as many tourists do, gawking at the Kremlin's towers through his thick, hornrimmed glasses, praising Russian hospitality and greeting every Ivan he could find with a breezy "I'm from London. How are you?" The visitor was British Foreign Secretary George Brown, 52, making his first trip to the Soviet Union to discuss with Premier Aleksei Kosygin and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko a peace plan for Viet Nam and the problems of nuclear proliferation. Brown did not get far with the Russians, but he predictably described the talks...
Relaxing in his office, Edward J. Waterhouse, director of the school, tells a visitor that young boys who live at Perkins do the same things as the students at any other boarding school -- including playing practical jokes. One night, a group of boys in a dormitory set up a trap for one of their mates who had gotten out of bed to use the bathroom. While he was out, the boys built a precariously high stack of soda bottles in the entrance of the room. The boy returned, his hand gliding against the wall for guidance; he crashed into...
