Thoughts on modern tourism: a traveller in St. Petersburg

Article Abstract:

There is still considerable material hardship in St Petersburg, Russia. Much of the city's infrastructure is in a very poor state of repair, and many people live in very cramped conditions. In contrast, significant public buildings, particularly those that attract tourists, are in good condition or are being repaired. The city has many attractive, well-dressed young women, and there are many signs of pro-Western habits and preferences. The influence of officialdom seems to have diminished, and visitors to Russia no longer expose themselves to the danger of political menace.

Remembering a great teacher

Article Abstract:

A publisher and author describes the influence of a German friend, Hermann Schnitzler. Schnitzler was introduced through a mutual friend, and he soon proceeded to conduct an extensive extracurricular education program that included visits to museums, recitals, concerts, a recommended reading list, and a transfer to the University of Bonn. Schnitzler, himself an accomplished art historian and musician, became director of the Schnuttgen Museum in Cologne, Germany.
