...German hospital in Bad Godesberg, and this new book is based on his diary of the two years he spent under Communism. First published in 1961, it has sold over 200,000 copies in West Germany-a success attributed to the author's obvious integrity and credibility. A devout Protestant, Von Lehndorff loved his God, his family and his native land. He hated Hitler, Communism and self-seeking men. His mother and brother were imprisoned by the Nazis and later murdered by the Russians, and he himself was involved in the plot against Hitler...
...fact that six denominations are represented in his 80-voice volunteer choir. Some worshipers admittedly go to St. Stephen's, as one girl explained to Powell, in order to "get church over in half an hour on Wednesday, and then have all Sunday free."

More important, as in the U.S., audiences in Britain deserted to TV. From a 1946 peak of 1.6 billion, British moviegoers dwindled to 400 million in 1963. To meet the change, Davis sold 100 theaters, wisely followed his customers into new leisures...
...chiefs of agencies that handle political accounts are often party faithful: Doyle Dane's William Bernbach is a devout Democrat, and Erwin Wasey's David B. Williams is a Republican regular. But many agencies are pragmatically bipartisan. Bobby Kennedy has placed the ad end of his New York campaign with Manhattan's Papert, Koenig, Lois because his advisers were impressed by its work for Republican Senator Jacob Javits...
