...studied law at Brussels, finished the five-year course in 2% years and, well-endowed with his father's gift for the dramatic, had a brief fling at the bar before entering politics as a fiery young Socialist (he was called a "Bolshevik in a dinner jacket"). In 1938 he became his nation's youngest Prime Minister, and has spent most of the years since either in that job or as Belgium's Foreign Minister. His nationwide popularity was dented strongly only once: when he led the successful but divisive campaign to prevent the return of Leopold...
...green and white 1954 three-hole Buick sedan came to a gentle halt and an elderly couple got out. They were tourists, just passing by. The birdlike little woman chattered warmly to the counterman as she ordered weak tea. Her husband, a tall, stooped, somber man in a sports jacket, remained aloof.

"Professor," said he to the distinguished philosopher who had just finished addressing a group of two-score students, "Professor, I often sit up late at night thinking and I find that I'm able to visualize my universe only up to a certain point and after that," he continued, with his glasses in his hand, "I just cannot envision what is beyond. Sir, can you tell me what is out there...
...Cabinet of Dr. Caligari describes a mountebank monk's visit to a small German town. Apparently Dr. Caligari wishes to exhibit his somnambulist at the town's fair. But a series of unexplained murders follows their arrival. At last Dr. Caligari is caught and led off in a strait-jacket. This story, however, is told by a young man in an institution. When the director of the institution walks among his patients after the story, he himself appears to be Dr. Caligari. Recognizing him, the patient screams, "You are Dr. Caligari!" and he too is led off in a strait...
