...nearby hills, or the 75,000 miles of marked paths in the federal republic's tidily tended forests. Side by side, Mercedes and motor bike repose in the parking lot; for a few brief hours, worker and industrialist, Cabinet minister and cabinetmaker are equal and often indistinguishable-clad (as are their wives) in sensible shoes, sturdy capes and shapeless hats. Toddlers are carried. Teen-agers desert friends and transistor radios. The whole family trudges, pausing now and then for a spell of tiefatmen (deep breathing), to say hello to the Müllers (walking in the other direction...
...stayed that way. But that, he felt, was enough: "It matters not how small the beginnings may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever." He could scarcely have envisioned his responsibility, at least in part, for the fact that thousands of dhoti-clad Indians lay down across roads and railroads, that hundreds of U.S. citizens, white and black, would be flung into Alabama jails.

Seventeen news photographers drown or die of concussions as Lynda Bird Johnson spends a holiday surfing in California. Spacecraft Gemini 8 and Gemini 9 establish an historic orbital link-up.

Witless innocence was their hallmark. It purifies even a 20's sequence in which they are pursued, clad in underdrawers, by a pair of gorgon wives toting a shotgun to avenge some fancied infidelity-as they round the corner of an apartment house, a shotgun blast brings dozens of men tumbling out of all the doors and windows, each dragging his trousers behind him. The art of Laurel...
...Company found itself under such severe shelling from mortars that it was soon forced up a fingerlike slope-apart from the rest of the battalion and in the very midst of the enemy. Finally taking refuge on a narrow ledge, the isolated platoon fired at the khaki-clad North Vietnamese attackers from as close as five to ten feet. Sergeant Clyde Savage stood up to blast down three of them, found to his horror that his automatic rifle was empty. "I didn't know what to do," he recalls, "so I just said 'Hi' and smiled...
