Mrs. Ptolemy and Ptolemy attended a superb football (soccer) match this evening in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. The Berlin team, Hertha B.S.C.,* defeated Heffenheim, a small town near Heidelberg, but never mind, 1-0. The crowd of 58,000 plus cheered, sang and chanted loudly and endlessly. A good time all around. We are indebted to our talented banker, Richard Giessel of Frankfurt, for the "50 yard line" tickets and for the blue and white scarves that helped us stave off the dampness, not that they were needed, given the warmth of the crowd.
*Most European football clubs have names that are strange and shrouded in history.
