...eventually became quite fond). When the savage wave of rape ended and women met to talk, the first question was not "What happened?" but "How often?" Intent throughout on survival, the blonde diarist wound up singing, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Her diary is a vivid document of conquest and defeat, and a telling demonstration of how most Germans feel about Russians...
They Ran Him Home. Walter Webb, big, strong and blue-eyed, was once a soldier and twice married. He was too vivid to be ignored, too likable when sober, too lethal when drunk. He killed his best friend in a quarrel over local politics and was put away for two years, although Doric always said, "He done it in self-defense."

Threaded through the travelogues is a warm and enlightening picture of the world's second largest religion and its believers, who seem...
