...triumph rekindled speculation about her age. The controversy began at the Stuttgart world championships, where she listed her birth date as Feb. 15, 1975, which met by 46 days the competitive minimum of 15. "Nonsense," insists Bela Karolyi, the U.S. trainer, who admits to faking birth dates in his native Romania to allow underage gymnasts to perform. As evidence, Karolyi points out the missing front tooth in Kim's engaging smile. "I lost it when I hit the bar in practice," explains Kim. "But she was missing two in Stuttgart," replies Karolyi. "One grew in." Whatever her age, her maturity...
...basis of the proposed army is a 4,200-troop Franco-German brigade based near Stuttgart that can barely be called a joint force. Its soldiers carry different rifles, wear their own national uniforms and operate in separate battalions. Expanding so fractious a concept to an army corps of about 35,000 to 40,000 soldiers could take years. Creating a full army could take a generation.

Why should the Federal Government dole out funds to an industry that is already flourishing because of the surge in interest in simple down-home cooking? Because Bumpers, who has been in the Senate since 1974, is likely to run for another term...
...long chalk. But in the 1920s and '30s especially, he was a brilliant maker of images. Their strength and edginess radiate like new in the centenary Ernst exhibit, organized by art historian Werner Spies, which is at London's Tate Gallery this month and moves in mid-May to Stuttgart's Staatsgalerie. Long after the art movements to which Ernst contributed have passed into history, his images continue to detonate in the mind like unexploded land mines left on the old battlefield of modernism. If the young love Dada and Surrealism, and early Ernst in particular, it is because...
