...minutes from Berlin's dead center is a slice of Long Island or California civilization-the American colony. This week the local baseball season got into full swing; Tempelhof airbase invited all American girls to the "Stateside Stomp" in the Skyrider Ballroom; everything from keel boats to canoes and kayaks is skimming the Wannsee's smooth, sunny waters. This is little America, APO 742-A, including bingo, jukeboxes, dog shows, fashion shows and horse shows...
