...cover story on the incredible week of piracy and peril, TIME mobilized dozens of staffers in the U.S. and abroad. In New York, the main story was written by William Doerner, researched by Sara Medina and edited by David Tinnin. They drew on reports from Washington, Bonn, Geneva, Jerusalem and other cities, where TIME correspondents detailed the incidents as well as the frustrating inability of modern power and diplomacy to cope with the hijackers...
Report from Bonn. The Senator's grudge against Olsen dates from July 15, 1964 when, in the midst of the Republican National Convention, the New York Times published a story from its Bonn bureau reporting that Goldwater had been exchanging letters with right-wing West German politicians.

...scientific and technological explosion in the West, notably in the U.S. and West Germany. As a result, the West's initial lead in such prestigious sectors of the future as electronics and computers is growing at a rate that increasingly alarms the Kremlin. Moscow's treaty with Bonn provides the political basis for an influx of German capital and technical and managerial know-how on which Russia rests its hopes of bridging its technological gap with the West. U.S. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird may be able to pressure Henry Ford out of building a truck factory...
