...sirens screech in the dead of the West German night. In dozens of barracks and off-base housing units, thousands of U.S. men and officers snap awake and dive for field uniforms and equipment. One by one, the diesel engines of the squat, 52-ton M-60 tanks cough and rumble to life. In quick order, the assembled units roar down serpentine German roads toward fighting positions that have long since been plotted for protective cover and fields of fire. Within two hours of the first cry of the sirens, the 14,617-man 3rd Armored Division...

There are goldfish races, jazz bands, a believe-it-or-not museum, ballroom dancing, a Kiddies Theater where nearly all performers are under 16, a diving bell for the observation of bottom life. All this begins...
...green continents flecked with white clouds. But well-trained astronauts will know that a dangerous ordeal-a flaming return through the atmosphere-stands between them and home. Only one man, Major Yuri Gagarin of the U.S.S.R., has made such a descent. Last week in Pravda he described the long dive...
