...Pegasus, was launched three months ago. Stud, fairly securely nestled in the Khe Sui Soi River valley and now being fortified by U.S. Seabees, has a good airstrip. Unlike Khe Sanh, it is outside the 17-mile reach of North Vietnamese artillery dug into the mountains across the Laotian border. Under the new plan, Marines equipped with borrowed helicopters will try to move fast and throw cordons around North Vietnamese in filtrating the area. They will also substitute aggressive reconnaissance patrols for the blocking role formerly held by Khe Sanh and the hill outposts that surrounded it, which...
...West's plight, and despite East and West Germans' conflicts over Berlin, Hannoverian Businessman Hans-Joachim Ermeler, 45, reached across the Iron Curtain and asked East Berlin's Trade Commission if it would be interested in shipping 60,000 fresh Brötchen over the border each morning. The East Germans were indeed: the deal will net the Communist regime some $250,000 a year in hard-currency marks. They have guaranteed piping-hot delivery in specially built thermos trucks and announced that the first batch of fresh Brötchen, due in September, will arrive from...
Will success spoil Lee Trevino? Not likely. Last week, after putting the touch on his wife Claudia ("Honey, let me have a couple of hundred, will you?"), Lee headed for his favorite relaxing spot: the greyhound-racing track in Juárez, Mexico, across the border from El Paso.

It was, of course, Lee Trevino Night at the track...

Michigan residents who want to avoid buying a pistol permit?and having their background checked?simply drive across the Ohio border to Toledo, where guns are sold even at the candy counter of a sleazy hamburger stand. Massachusetts police in a ten-year study traced 87% of the guns used in local crimes to purchases in neighboring states where no waiting period or background investigation was required...
Canadian Pattern. Four days after King's murder, Ray had hightailed across the Canadian border, and was renting a $10-a-week room from Mrs. Fela Szpakowsky on Toronto's polyglot Ossington Avenue. Just why Ray chose Canada is not entirely clear, but, almost surely, one reason was the knowledge-widely circulated among convicts in the U.S.-that it is ridiculously easy to get a Canadian passport. All that is needed is the gall to ask for one and a birth certificate-and the certificate is not strictly necessary...
