Der Stern sponsored a revival of the hare and tortoise race to prove sane drivers exist. Two drivers in identical cars traveled 930 miles from Hamburg to Rimini Italy. One was ordered to lead foot it and often hit 90 mph while the other kept a cautious pace.
A quirky comparison contrasts a hare speedster and a tortoise driver over a long trip. The hare averaged 65 mph early but slowed, finishing 31 minutes after the tortoise. The tortoise averaged 44 mph, used fewer gas gallons, passed cars half as often, and arrived relaxed in Rimini.
Norman Soong started as a skilled news photographer and has become a successful magazine publisher. Now living in a top floor duplex on a mountainside, he reflects on his relocation and career shift. He is Chinese by heritage, American by citizenship, born in Honolulu, and raised in China after his parents moved him there.
Norman and I discuss China’s Red Guard rise and collapse as Mao’s era nears its end. He argues the youth were shaped by heroic cults, now seeking purpose while elders consolidate power. China lacks a true middle generation, and a Korea style reprisal could come if provoked.
The reader asks if hives can be cured and what causes they may have. Dr Molner suggests allergy or emotional stress as main factors, notes foods and medications as triggers, and advises medical evaluation, possibly by an allergist or psychiatrist, plus avoiding allergens.

The third letter warns saltwater sniffing can spread infections and is an old, largely discarded remedy with little proven benefit.

Washington dispatch notes Alain Zick, famed chef of Relais de Porquerolles in Paris, killed himself after Michelin Guide stripped Porquerolles of two stars. The piece mocks American reactions and cites a hypothetical US press fallout, plus a quip filled interview about failing to adapt to kitchen computers and fame.
AP notes a TV weekend spree of space faring episodes from CBS and ABC. It highlights Wild Wild West aliens docking with a Grant treasure, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea landing a saucer, and a serious We Are Not Alone hour on life beyond Earth. CBS rushes emergency help to Moore Show while Jack Benny and next week’s Dick Van Dyke fail to lift laughs.
