...separates Berlin from the West; one third arrives by rail, a third by truck, a third by barge. But governing Mayor Willy Brandt, a World War II resistance hero who looks as if he could fill the shoes of the late Bur germeister Ernst Reuter of blockade-days' fame, let it be known that his government has stashed away six months' supplies of fuel, food and medicine, valued at $180 million. If it came to a showdown, there were always the three air lanes from the West along which the airlift planes once shuttled, and along which...
