...East Berliner's side of the wall is less decorated. A banner proclaiming "Never Again War and Fascism" was, until the middle of August, the only slogan. At that time a large sign was put up facing the Western observation tower which says: Hier Beginnt der Frciheit von Imperialismus, von Revanchismus, von Kriegpolitik; "Here Begins Freedom from Imperialism, from Revanchism, from War-Politics...

And then there was ABC's great moment, after ABC Commentator Hubert H. Humphrey had. been nominated for Vice President, when Ed Morgan turned to Howard K. Smith to say, "Well, Howard, we may not be the top network...
