Apparently they loved playing music together, and they communicated the love. As George Harrison says, "In Hamburg we had played for...eight hours at a stretch, loving it all...Back in Liverpool...it was still as enjoyable...We never rehearsed an act...It was so spontaneous, all jokes and laughs...Then came touring which was great at first...
...parents who are co-plaintiffs followed the testimony intently from reserved seats, while malformed children played in the corridors.

Dr. Widukind Lenz was a pediatrician in Hamburg when he began to study the effects of the drug. Now 49, he has moved to Münster as director of the Institute of Human Genetics...
Chabrol's films rarely offer this much insight into events of the unfilmed past--another requirement, in this case, of melodramatic genres.

From its coequal headquarters in the cities of Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg, the bank has opened 650 branches across West Germany, adds new ones at the rate of 70 a year. Last year the effort to woo deposits proved so successful that the Dresdner's total funds increased by 20%. That $650 million growth was the largest of any bank...
