...chauffeur-were given six days to pack up and get out. Foreign Ministry officials frostily informed North Korea's Ambassador to Stockholm, Kil Jae Gyong, who is also accredited to Oslo, that he was no longer welcome in Norway. Similar scenes took place in Helsinki and Copenhagen, and as of last week, twelve North Korean embassy staffers had been unceremoniously ordered home to Pyongyang...
...penal institutions, studies beginning in the 1960s suggested that they may be prone to aggressive criminality. It has taken a decade and a large-scale study by twelve Danish and American experts to refine that simplistic theory. The researchers report in Science that they tracked down males born in Copenhagen during four years (1944-47) and chromosome-typed 4,139 who grew to 184 cm. (approximately 6 ft.) or more. The XYYs among them numbered 2.9 per 1,000 and included proportionately more who had been convicted of crimes than did the general population: 42%, as against 9.3%. But surprisingly...

Trying to inject more reality in Danish ballet, he decided on a more sexual, dynamic, aggressive approach. One result was Triumph of Death, inspired by Ionesco's play Jeux...
...that rejected monarchy 200 years ago, nine of Europe's ten reigning families will have visited the U.S. by year's end. Preparing for one of the biggest convergences of royalty since the days when regal retinues descended on Paris or Vienna for filet Empire, monarchs in palaces from Copenhagen's Amalienborg to Madrid's Zarzuela are brushing up on such transatlantic lore as Queen Elizabeth's relationship to George Washington (second cousin seven times removed) and the name of U.S.S. Monitor's designer (Swedish-born John Ericsson)?or on the nuances of the English language...
