...book, Author Jacques Baroche, a poet turned investigator, confirms the legend of French wanderlust; 90% of the French husbands who talked to him admitted being unfaithful. But he finds that another Gallic institution has become oldfashioned: the pace of modern life has caused many a Frenchman to discard his pampered mistress in favor of the quickie...
Target & Muscle. The deficit grows out of the nation's vast commitments around the world-and the insatiable wanderlust of millions of its well-heeled citizens. In 1967, the outflow turned to a flood-between $3.5 billion and $4 billion. Major factors included the tourist rush to Canada's Expo 67, the outpouring of private funds to finance Israel's costly war, the slowdown in Europe's economies and, most important of all, Britain's devaluation of the pound, which caused a speculative rush for gold and put intense pressure on the gold-backed...
Died. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, 97, pioneering medical missionary, a petite Oregon physician who followed wanderlust and the healing arts around the globe, joined the 1897 gold rush to Alaska, served World War I hospital duty with the Red Cross in France, in 1922 tended Greek refugees under siege by the Turks in Smyrna, and as chairman from 1919 until last May of the American Women's Hospital Service founded clinics for the homeless in 30 nations; in Manhattan...

Black was a basic color in the abstract-expressionist painting of the beats; hippiedom's psychedelic poster art is blindingly vivid. The progressive jazz of the beats was coolly cerebral; the acid rock of the hippies is as visceral as a torn intestine...
...journey, is what counts. German doctors and orthopedists recommend wandern as good for the heart, lungs, legs and circulation. German sociologists inquire anxiously on questionnaires, "Do you walk with your wife?" -presumably on the theory that togetherness begins along the trail. German scholars account for the national wanderlust with learned references to Goethe and the 19th century romantics, who originally glorified nature and the nomadic as a protest against the industrial revolution. By the turn of the century, the idea had captured the imagination of thousands of students, who, in groups known as Wandervogel (wandering birds), hiked, camped, sang folk...
