SWINGINGEST STREET in Europe—and Europe has some really swinging streets—is
the broad Reeperbahn that runs through the Sankt Pauli district in Hamburg,
Germany. According to knowledgeable Time Magazine—noted for its in-depth
reporting-3,000 of Sankt Pauli's 13,000 residents are prostitutes; and in 200
yards along Herbertstrasse, there are 20 bordellos staffed with painted ladies
who sit in show windows 24 hours a day to lure passers-by. No wonder, then,
that Hamburg's citizens have nicknamed the Reeperbahn "The Raper"—although
it is usually tourists who get seduced. B-girls and waiters, using every conceivable
trick and backed up by gangs of extortionists, blackmailers, and strong-arm
boys, have been known to charge and collect—as much as $600 for a single
sucker's bout of boozing. Lately, however, Hamburg cops have been
cracking down, refusing licenses and tossing thugs in jail. Yet, city authorities
are to careful not to tame The Raper too much. Its notoriety is a big tourist
attraction, largely responsible for making the Reeperbahn Europe's richest as
well as its swingingest street. Total haul for the year: $25 million.
LATEST SLAP at the Beatles comes from Ingrid Bergman, of all people, who recently
observed how things have changed since 1949, when she abandoned her husband
to fly off with Roberto Rossellini. In those days, Ingrid was forever banished
by the American public just because she and Rossellini indulged in parenthood,
marriage, and separation in that order. Nowadays, however, "No one objects
to the Beatles having a holiday with their girls," said Ingrid, "perhaps
because everyone is so pleased that they are not taking boys with them."
MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE for Woman of the Year, British playgirl Christine Keeler,
emerged from prison ready to forget her past. After serving six months of a
nine-month perjury sentence (she was released early for "good behavior"),
Christine told reporters that she planned to go into the movies. "I know
I've no experience," she admitted, "but I've got to begin somewhere."
Seems she already has.
