Tourist in buff

Berlin, May 23 (Reuters): A naked US tourist raised eyebrows when he went for a walk through a German city and told police he thought this was acceptable behaviour in Germany.

“We have been having unusually hot weather here lately but... we can’t have this,” a police spokesman in the southern city of Nuremberg said yesterday. Nude sunbathing is allowed in German public parks.

Oprah book

Chicago (AP): TV hostess Oprah Winfrey said she was “stunned” to learn her father plans to write a book about her. “I was upset. I won’t say devastated, but I was stunned,” Winfrey told New York’s Daily News in a story published on Tuesday. She said she laughed when an assistant told her the newspaper was calling to ask about a book her father Vernon was writing. “The worst part of it was him saying: ‘I meant to tell you I’ve been working on it’.”
