Germans Becoming Too Americanized in Wrong Ways
Esther Van Wagoner Tufty reports from Munich that Germans may be adopting materialism and wealth signs, like new clothes and cars, while Nazism lingers in old industrial regions.

James Marlow notes four television debates offered Kennedy a visibility boost against Nixon but few concrete issue insights.
