The Wonderful Swiss Touch, C. Naseer Ahmad
The Wonderful Swiss Touch, C. Naseer Ahmad
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Famous Swiss chocolate brands like Toblerone and Lindt are hard to miss because modern consumers will find them at checkout counters, airport gift shops and so many places. Likewise Swiss cheese products adorn the grocery store shelves in the United States . While many people might be familiar with some Swiss products they might not have a good understanding about what Switzerland is about in the modern world. This is because a few products or nuggets of information cannot really tell the whole story about a country. For example, those consuming Jack Daniels Whisky overseas might be familiar with the …

"Why Does It Always Have To Be Switzerland?"1 Daniel Silva's Treatment Of Swiss Society And Culture In Selected Mossad Spy Novels, Brian Champion
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The title quote is uttered by Mossad operative Eli Lavon, who, upon being tasked to assist in the illegal penetration of a sovereign country, despairs of the mission 's success, whose two-fold metric is the apprehension of an existential threat to the State of Israel , and his safe return to his adjunct professorship in Jerusalem, all while avoiding detection or incarceration. His angst is well -placed, as Switzerland is well-known in both real and imaginary in tell igence circles as a formidable environment in which to conduct secret missions of any kind. Silva and his fictitious Mossad team struggle …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
The Swiss author Gottfried Keller (1819-1890) was a major figure within the late nineteenth-century German-language literary movement known as "Poetic Reali sm" ("Poetischer Realismus") .

Swiss American Historical Society Review
It was in the early 1990's that I first met Bob. He was teaching, first as a Soros Foundation Fellow and then as a Fullbright Professor at the Lajos Kossuth University in Debrecen, a city in eastern Hungary. It was only a couple of years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Communism. This was a time when it had finally become possible for Hungarians to travel freely in the world, but in practice very few of us were able to afford to do so.

You would think by Autumn one would know
That blue cornflowers close at night,
That raccoons call to each other down at Blossom Creek, .
That dry corn stalks speak of winter to the moon.
In Spring,
l stole swiftly through the flowers· and the corn
To see her,
Whom I chased that summer through the cornfields,
Chased her down the rows that whispered in the night,.
Until I caught her and we fell in love.

On the one hand, no information seems- o be available about Robert E.
Bieder's background, hls parents and siblings, his growing up, his schooling
and his teenage years before college.On the other hand, there seems
no explanation in reach why Robert E. Bieder did not receive a permanent
academic appointment despite his productive research and publication,
and why, after two to three years at an institution, he was again on the
move. He seemed to be changing from position to position in the United
States as well as abroad.

Moccasins learned of the Incident and demanded that the woman's bones
be returned for proper burial.
