...Soviet threat to West Germany, however, is quite another matter. Twice last week, the Kremlin pointedly noted that it felt free to move against the Bonn government to curb any revival of neo-Nazism. With seven crack Soviet divisions massed in Czechoslovakia near the Bavarian border-the largest military buildup on the eastern frontier since 1945-Bonn did not take the threat lightly. Neither did Bonn's allies, who warned that a Soviet attack would bring "an immediate allied response." Said a U.S. diplomat: "What we told the Russians was that if they carried through with their threat, they...
...girl at heart. Her marvelously adaptable voice takes on a down home inflection, as if she had been raised on corn dodgers and redeye gravy. The best cut is Uncle Joe, a traditional square dance tune in which Buffy starts off playing the mouth bow, followed by a gradual buildup of banjo, bass and fiddle until the entire backing group is involved.

Fourteen emphysema sufferers took part in Bass's experiment. When they started, some of them found breathing so difficult that all physical activity was an arduous chore. But during the gradual exercise buildup, they all showed improvement. Their hearts now function more efficiently. Work has become easier, and their bodies require less oxygen for a given task, presumably because their lung tissue has been stimulated to greater efficiency. Bass does not recommend his treatment for all of the 400,000 Americans troubled by emphysema, many of whom have other serious disorders. His patients, however, have no such compunctions. Like...
...first heavy fighting erupted along the Cambodian border to the west of Saigon, where the equivalent of a Viet Cong division moved on the provincial capital of Tay Ninh. Hints of a major buildup there had been drifting in for about a month. Confirmation came when a South Vietnamese armor specialist showed up at a Chieu Hoi center for defectors. He reported that the Communists had tried to recruit him to drive one of the armored personnel carriers that they expected to capture in an attack on the town...
