...campy) physical re- creation of the new Greater Germany, he suggests it in small, swift strokes. Tour buses carrying Western reporters on their first visit since the war roll past billboards touting one-world harmony and vacations in "Paris, Germania." (There's also an ad for the Beatles; those Hamburg clubs apparently survived.) The country is repressive and regimented, but the "Heil Hitlers" have grown routine and less convincing; the bureaucrats are cynical and restive. The SS and the Gestapo are at odds, like the FBI and the CIA during Watergate. Police officers (among them Peter Vaughan and Michael Kitchen...
...where lines stretched around the block today -- report sightings of plenty of Americans who apparently didn't want to wait. Russians, Poles and Western Europeans also crowded among the Brits.

An extra: some Fab Four banter with BBC deejays.Post your opinion on theArts & Culturebulletin board...
...extremely simple, graceful clothes have won legions of devotees among women accustomed to spending upwards of $2,500 for a jacket and a pair of trousers -- including such notable shoppers as Barbra Streisand, Winona Ryder, Uma Thurman and life- stylist Martha Stewart.

She grew up in a modest Hamburg suburb and has said her taste developed in reaction to the kitsch and consumerism that dominated postwar Germany. "Ever since I was young, I would look at a woman and think she could look much classier, much more powerful, sophisticated and elegant," she says. "That's what always counted for me, not that obviousness that...
Sander has attracted an appreciative following ever since she launched her first collection in 1974, but for years she remained a marginal figure. Her early collections, first shown in Hamburg, were not tremendously well received, and when she unveiled a collection in Paris for the first time in the late '70s, her clothes were ignored. So she left the competitive French couture scene ("I didn't want to get killed," she says) and returned to Hamburg, where she continued to study design and showed her collections to small, invitation-only groups of buyers and press...
