After several last-minute delays, the two Germanys last week initialed an agreement that represents a crucial advance in East-West relations. Negotiated under the aegis of the broader Big Four talks on Berlin, the agreement aims at eliminating a chief source of cold war tensions by guaranteeing relatively free passage of people and goods between West Germany and West Berlin, which is 110 miles inside Communist-ruled East Germany...
...comprehend the results of the election, it is necessary to understand some of the underlying factors which have made Cleveland politics so volatile and unpredictable. The infamous Cuyahoga River, distinguished by its ability to catch five, dividers the city east-west, black-white. Some 40 per cent of Cleveland's eligible voters are black, and almost all of them reside on the East Side. There is very little interaction across the river in this polarized community. In 1967, and again in 1969, Stokes was elected mayor in close two-man races by carrying a solid 95 per cent...
...British Naval Commander Anthony Courtney. A onetime chief of the Soviet section of naval intelligence, Courtney retired, began a successful business as a consultant on East-West trade, and won election as a Tory Member of Parliament.

Before he came up for reelection, the KGB reached into its files and produced a 1961 photo showing Courtney in compromising positions with a comely, blonde, hazel-eyed Intourist guide named Zina, a "swallow" he had met on a business trip to Moscow...
...There are several reasons for West Germany's status as the spy center of Europe: it is part of a divided country on the edge of the East-West chasm, it is the base for 210,000 U.S. troops and a sizable nuclear arsenal, and it can be easily serviced from espionage centers in East Germany. On certain nights, a voice broadcast over a short-wave band from the closely guarded Karlshorst...
...Pastorini of Houston, 6 ft. 3 in., 216 Ibs., hurled 35 touchdown passes at Santa Clara, but was still relatively unknown outside California until the close of the 1970 season. Then he was named most valuable offensive player in the East-West Shrine game. Pastorini, who is also the Oilers' punter this season, got his chance last Sunday in the second half against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sent in to replace ineffective veteran Charley Johnson, Pastorini nearly handed the mammoth Chiefs their second upset in a row. Although he suffered two interceptions, he completed ten of 21 passes...
