...White Russians faced the bare pine tribunal in the People's Court at Sarajevo to hear judgment passed on them on charges of spying for their Russian homeland, which they had not seen in three decades (TIME, Dec. 12).

Among the frequent visitors to the shop is an old friend of Peter's, Ernst Seemueller, who sports a cap with "Star Beer Brewery" on it. Ernst's home has the distinction of a pine paneled bar equipped with 72 beer steins, several Italian wine jugs, a pewter edged two litre drinking horn, and plenty of schnapps. Ernst recalls the old days in Bavaria when the children used barrel staves or the long slats from the tops of egg crates for skis...
