...bizarre incidents of war-the middle-aged Japanese officer who drove unharmed through the startled brigade in a chugging Chevy, staring straight ahead and looking as though he had just committed "a grave social faux pas." Masters tells of monocled British officers who went off to war with a pack of foxhounds and 40 dozen cases of champagne, and who could turn a man to jelly just by peering with wonder at his clothes. And Masters writes frankly of his affair with a married woman, who proudly bore him an illegitimate daughter before they could be married...
...self-conscious Clansmen were frolicking" in Europe, their onetime matriarch, Lauren Bacall, 36, pulled the imprimatur right out from under them back in Hollywood.

But the method of restriction would have to be moral-namely, barring the entrance, and nonuse of violent means unless intrusion...
...Souvenir. To Dresdeners, Americans are people from another planet. The mother of a young boy asked if she could have an empty U.S. cigarette pack "as a remembrance." Surprisingly, most were fearlessly outspoken about their dislike of Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht's regime. "Why did you come here?" asked a salesgirl wonderingly. "Why does anyone come here?" Quipped a bitter bartender: "Have a socialist drink: crush one potato in a glass, drink it fast and try to think of vodka." "Shall I describe how it is to live here?" sneered a girl government clerk.
