Reimer's attorney argued that "a child is not a liability, but rather a joyous event. A child is an asset that brings happiness fully compensating for any material damages." Last month a court in Schleswig-Holstein disagreed. While declaring that the Knacks had "a general responsibility to check what they bought," the court ruled that Reimer was negligent and ordered him to pay half the cost of the boy's upbringing until Thomas reaches 18. "Grotesque," said Reimer's attorney about the decision, which appeared to be the first of its kind either in West Germany...
...Amused. The Bundeswehr's 456,000 men constitute the strongest and best-equipped NATO force on the Continent, are deployed in the first layer of defense along the Iron Curtain from Schleswig-Holstein to Bavaria. Bonn's plans called for an expansion of the Bundeswehr over the next few years, but Kiesinger's Cabinet, worried about the economic slowdown in West Germany, two weeks ago decided to cut military expansion plans by about 25%. When a jet passed low over the Palais Schaumburg, in which the Cabinet was meeting, Interior Minister Paul Lücke cracked: "Schroder...
...said, she said" tradition of open quotes openly arrived at. American reporters are uneasy with the sweeping statements affected by Frenchmen and other foreigners; the average American newspaperman is constitutionally unable to write a sentence like "The future of NATO is threatened by the re-opening of the Schleswig-Holstein question" without pinning it on someone.

By 1962, as pressure began building for action against the untouched Nazi jurists, Schleswig-Holstein authorities opened an investigation of Rehse. Finally, last February, they arrested him. Rehse, who pleaded not guilty on grounds that he did not make the laws, plans to appeal his sentence. For Rehse, that is a rare privilege-his own People's Court...
...display at Manhattan's Knoedler gallery (see color opposite). In contrast to Nolde's earlier works, which stress religious subjects or Berlin's raucous cabarets, this rural cycle focuses on ordinary workaday existence, together with a few of the Nordic trolls and hobgoblins native to Schleswig-Holstein. Most of the pictures show pairs and groups of everyday people. Their dress is shapeless, timeless. The light is eerie. Sometimes Nolde painted the flat Schleswig countryside and the powerful sea that lurks just beyond its dikes in turbulent colors reminiscent of England's J.M.W. Turner. More often...
