...intentions. In that memorandum, Khrushchev demanded an immediate peace treaty to reunite Germany under Communist terms. That failing, as it must, he vowed to sign a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany, which by his way of thinking would then have every right to cut off free-world access to West Berlin. "It is necessary to establish deadlines," said the memorandum. "The Soviet government regards a period not exceeding six months as adequate...
...talks. But in the stalemated discussions over Berlin, Khrushchev came perilously close to anger. The Soviet Premier explained that he intended to sign a peace treaty (perhaps by year's end) with East Germany; after that, the West would be forced to deal with the East Germans for access to Berlin and the right to station troops there. Kennedy coolly answered that the West was in Berlin legally and would use force to maintain its rights there "at any risk."

Boating is so popular in Texas because it is so improbable. Although Gulf Coast residents have long had access to water, most other Texans until fairly recently have not been able to find enough water to skip a stone. But in the past 20 years, government dams and flood-control projects have created scores of man-made lakes that dot Texas' parched and sweltering flatlands (there are only about half a dozen natural lakes in Texas). Because of Texas' excellent, uncrowded highways, distance is no object. One industrialist trailed his cabin cruiser behind...
