...Fortnight ago, when the U.S. told the Russians that they could no longer use Checkpoint Charlie as the crossing point for their daily convoy to the Soviet war memorial in West Berlin, the Reds meekly shifted the procession to the shorter route across Sandkrug Bridge in the British sector. Same day, at a meeting of Allied commanders, U.S. Major General Albert Watson proposed that the Russians be instructed to return to using buses instead of the formidable, six-wheeled armored cars that had been brought in to protect Red soldiers from rock-hurling West Berliners last month...

The ball plunked down just a few feet from the edge of the green, and she made her par 4, went on to win the tournament. "I always go for broke," said JoAnne...
...towers this week was far more than a response to architectural novelty. It was a testament to the success of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc.. a repetition of the warm response that greeted the opening of Kaiser's new Medical Office Building at Hayward, near Oakland, fortnight ago. it was one more impressive statistic to add to the success of the eleven other hospitals and 38 clinics that the foundation operates in California. Oregon and Hawaii...
