Journalist From Zurich Turns Tables On Pilot
Reporter, Brings Out Her Own Camera For Snap
A journalist with 15 years’ ex
perience in the editorial offices
of the Reader’s Digest in Switzer
land, Mrs. Marie-Louise Luscher,
a native of Zurich, was a visitor
in Southern Pines and at the Pilot
office this week.
Mrs. Luscher blew in for a few
minutes only, like an autumn
leaf, in brown gold tweeds com
plementing the color of her
smartly shaped hair, and she
proved a reporter’s dream.
With only limited time (she
came in with her hostess, Mrs.
Donald Stott, who left her at
The Pilot while going off on a
short errand), Mrs. Luscher
graciously, and with professional
know-how, sat and talked, giving
off information, opinions and
ideas like sparks, with practical
ly no prodding from her inter
viewer.
“I know of nothing more plea
sant in this business than to sit
down and have someone else do
your work for you,” smiled Mrs.
Luscher, who added that she us
ually like what others wrote bet
ter than what she produced.
Asked how she got into the
field of journalism, she countered
with the question, “How did you?
“I studied at different universi
ties, in Berlin and Florence,” she
said, “but you don’t learn journa
lism,” she mused, “you just start
in.”
She also takes pictures, and
brought her camera with her to
the Pilot, where she took a snap
of her interviewer before leaving.
Undoubtedly her background
of world travel has helped in her
work. Her father, Rudolf Luscher,
is an engineer and with her par
ents, she traveled and lived in
many interesting and unusual
places.
Now, as a free lance journalist
contributing articles to magazines
and newspapers (she resigned
from Reader’s Digest early this

year), Mrs. Luscher travels on
her own, and writes about her
travel and experiences.
Home is an apartment in her
parents’ house in Zurich, where
I have my own kitchen and this
helps to keep me feminine,” she
dimpled'.
She has been all over the
United States, “but never to Cali
fornia,” she said regretfully, and
for 10 years, she lived in New
York, covering fashion openings
and similar women’s news for
the Swiss papers.
She has lived in Nepal and in
the Congo which she found “most
interesting—when it was still
Belgian.”
It was in New York, when she
first came there about 25 years
ago to work in the Swiss Pavi
lion at the first New York Worlds
Fair, that she met Mrs. Scott, and
with her and her husband, spent
a wonderful three weeks—“a real
New England Christmas,” she
said, “snow and all.”
A fascinating job she recalled,
was in 1942, when, as a secretary
of the Swiss Government, she
worked on the exchange of Inter
national and American diplomats.
Headquarters was at the Green
brier Hotel in White Sulpher
Springs, she said: “There were
1800 diplomats interned in that
beautiful hotel—it was terribly
interesting.
“Politics, I don’t think I want
to talk on,” said the visitor. “On
one hand, I am very optimistic,
and on the other hand—^when you
look at history and the circle, it
seems something has to give—the
world is getting so crowded now,
but perhaps we can spread out,
get some of the people living on
the moon, or Venus or Mars . . .”
the reporter is left to draw his
own conclusions of her conclus
ions delivered in this rapid short
hand.
Today, Thursday, after two
weeks in New England and here,
in the Sandhills, Mrs. Luscher
will fly to Zurich. But always, in
the future, are her plans to re
turn to the states for other visits.
