East and West have begun to live with the monstrosity of the wall. Berliners on both sides are permitted in spots to approach the wall to chat, even exchange foodstuffs and newspapers, if the Vopo guard feels indulgent. But anger remains. Sunny weekend weather brought a crowd of West Berlin youths to the border at Markgrafenstrasse. Some began throwing small paving stones at a Vopo water-cannon truck. The Vopos retaliated by firing a battering stream of water at the assailants-until a U.S. tank rumbled to the wall. The Vopo cannon's squirt quickly subsided into an embarrassed...
...sitting behind a desk is a man on horseback. He becomes a dictator." The same desire for informality applies in the board room. Abandoning the austere, paneled room built around a massive, no-nonsense board table, directors of more and more firms sit on upholstered chairs and comfortable couches, chat over low coffee tables.

...Kennedy's purpose. They had first met in 1956 at Harvard, when Dillon was grand marshal at the 25th reunion of his class and Senator Kennedy the winner of an honorary degree.

Natty in silk tie and bemedaled grey striped suit, Russia's boss put in a few ugly growls, but carefully framed them in peaceful phrases. "Life demands that statesmen . . . should not only say reasonable things, but also should not permit themselves in politics to cross...
...Administration spared no effort to make sure that Chen went home with the right ideas about U.S. policy. Vice President Lyndon Johnson and his Lady Bird were on hand at the airport to greet Chen and his wife, escorted the Premier to the White House for an amiable chat with John Kennedy. Afterward, the President played host to Chen at a state luncheon. Kennedy was in high good humor-and full of probing questions that impressed his guest. Who was the leading military man in Red China? Kennedy wanted to know. "[Defense Minister] Lin Piao is now foremost," answered...
