...park to begin their private talks unter vier Augen (among four eyes). From Bonn, Nixon will make the ritual visit to West Berlin, where John Kennedy made his historic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech from the city hall steps in the spring of 1963. It will be a difficult act to follow. U.S. and German planners have scheduled Nixon's principal speech before solidly pro-American workers at the Siemens electrical factory.

There, last week, at the world's largest international airport, the scenario came true. Even at its best, an airport terminal seems inhuman-a monstrous machine disguised as a building and designed to process people and baggage. To the machine, there is no difference between men, women, children, suitcases, pets. All are collected, screened according to route, classified by status, divided into units of the right size, packaged in aircraft-and shipped. When 17 inches...
