As a way of travel, hitchhiking by air is both adventurous and free, and has become popular enough to be declared illegal in Denver. To investigate the underground...
...newly organized guerrilla bands and the regular army. The Yugoslavs are especially anxious about the possibility of a new outbreak of fighting in the Middle East. They fear that the Soviets might seize on such a situation and, in the name of Socialist solidarity, demand bases for their Mediterranean fleet on Yugoslavia's Adriatic coast...
