...another, there is the problem of letting what must show be pretty. For that trim look, stocking manufacturers have lengthened hose to the full 38 in., are shortening the welt (reinforced stocking top) from 4 to H in.; Hanes, a leading stocking manufacturer, has eliminated the welt altogether. Another hosier has come out with "pecker" garters, which cover the stocking top with meant-to-be-seen lace; Dior has taken to decorating the top with flowers and Belle-Sharmer has stockings that fasten with snaps. Best solution slim girls have found is pantyhose, sheer tights that do away with girdle...
Erhard's impressive victory was a powerful blow to Adenauer's fading prestige. Last week Adenauer, now almost 90, told the weekly Christ und Welt that he will retire again-this time as chairman of the Christian Democratic Union, a post which he had continued to occupy after Erhard took over as Chancellor because Economist Erhard has little interest in party politics.

The six other suits have since been dismissed; unlike Connor, none of the other officials were named in the Salis bury stories...
...wants to hinder the course of justice, but must it run amok?" The language of Hamburg's Welt am Sonntag was inordinately strong, but then the German press and public had taken an inordinately long time to get upset. The cause of the outcry was an old German legal custom called Untersuchungshaft (investigative arrest), which has its roots in Roman law and allows a prosecutor to jail a mere suspect for years-so long as he can convince a judge that the man might flee the country or tamper with evidence and witnesses...
