Said Actress Elke Sommer, 36: "I'm ashamed when the photos are almost obscene, but we live in a free country." Insults flew between the chief complainant and editor of Emma magazine, Alice Schwarzer, 35, ("Male perfidy," said she), and Stern Editor Henri Nannen, 64, ("Joyless gray skirts," said he).
