Eastern Panic. As the refugee flow soared higher and higher, a U.S. Air Force Convair droned up the 110-mile corridor from West Germany one day last week and landed at West Berlin's Tempelhof Airport.

For a few hours, both could forget that they are rivals in the campaign for the fall elections. "I have come here in a moment of crisis," declared Adenauer.

...Royal Society's recent expedition to southern Chile. In the British magazine New Scientist, Holdgate traces the probable biological routes between the temperate lands on the opposite sides of the South Pole. Water-resistant seeds of a few plants may have ridden the ocean currents that flow around Antarctica from west to east, he points out, and the dust-small spores of ferns may have been carried far by the prevailing westerly winds. But most plants and insects of the far southern lands cannot survive long sea or air voyages. The major crossings must have been made in some...

In the so-called "basic balance of payments" (which excludes short-term capital flow), the U.S. will probably show a net surplus of $400 million for the first half of this year...
