Nowhere are neo-Nazi outbursts more unsettling than in Germany. In one week in May, German authorities recorded the beating of a Zairian asylum seeker in Halle, the torching of a Turkish kindergarten near Bonn, the vandalizing of a Jewish cemetery near Wurzburg, five arson fires at a refugee shelter in Hauzenberg and the arrests of 26 neo-Nazis for chanting "Sieg Heil!" during a party in a Berlin suburb. Such occurrences have become so commonplace they rarely make the front pages and are simply considered a routine part of the German political landscape...
...During his 35 years as bishop, he not only supervised a turbulent diocese but spent long hours judging disputes, preached daily (500 sermons survive) and managed to write 100 treatises and hundreds of letters on doctrine. Five million of his words are indexed in computers at West Germany's Wurzburg University...
...weaponry to West Germany-especially the M1 Abrams tank, the Black Hawk helicopter and the computerized Multiple Launch Rocket System-has cheered the troops. After the 3rd Infantry Division at Wurzburg received its new tanks in 1982, the re-enlistment rate for those eligible to re-up after their first tour of duty shot up from 20% to 70%.

...scientific study of the effects of hashish on a large body of men who were not professional criminals or chronically undernourished or otherwise disadvantaged. During the three years beginning in September 1968, Major Forest S. Tennant Jr. and Major C. Jess Groesbeck, at the U.S. Army hospital in Wurzburg, West Germany, had an "accessible, defined population" of 36,000 G.I.s, and a questionnaire indicated that no fewer than 16,000 of these had used hash at least once. The drug was more readily available than marijuana, and thousands of men were on it consistently enough to be dubbed "hashaholics...
...most famous work on ceilings. Venetian by birth and rococo by temperament, the 18th century master loved to loft dangling goddesses, altitudinous angels and rafters of neck-craning cherubs. His specialty, naturally, was clouds, and his best work adorns sundry ceilings from Madrid's royal palace to Wurzburg's bishop's Residenz. Last week Tiepolo unexpectedly raised the roofs in London...
