...Soviet-German renunciation-of-force pact. Five of TIME'S European bureaus contributed extensively to the story, which was written by William Smith, researched by Anne Tan and Isabelle Kayaloff and edited by David Tinnin. But primary responsibility for the reporting fell to Bonn Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate, who recently observed that "Willy Brandt in his own way has done what De Gaulle failed to do-build bridges in Europe." Gate provided an overview of Brandt's philosophy as well as interviews with key aides and figures in all corners of German life. Gate saw to it that...
...side of Chicago's once elegant and fashionable Southmoor Hotel, the crudely lettered sign keeps reappearing, no matter how often it is removed or painted over. GATE OF THE BLACK P.

...dime and a four-second drop, he attains momentary fame. The coin goes into the pedestrian turnstile on San Francisco's Golden Gate, at 4,200 ft. the second longest single-span suspension bridge in the world.* Since the west side is closed to foot traffic, he walks along the bridge's east flank, ignoring a magnificent view of the city.

Even if he hits feet first after a 250-ft. descent, the impact velocity of about...
...Site. In the 33 years since the Golden Gate stitched San Francisco to Marin County, 391 people have leaped from it to their deaths. (Five others, all in their resilient youth, survived to tell about it.) The figure does not include another 129 recorded by the California Highway Patrol as "possibles" based on circumstantial evidence -a pile of clothing left by the rail, a farewell message left behind, an abandoned car. But even the official toll, says Dr. Richard H. Seiden, associate professor of behavioral sciences at Berkeley, qualifies the bridge as "the No. 1 location for death by suicide...
With help from the California Highway Patrol and bridge authorities, Berkeley's Seiden now knows enough about the Golden Gate jumper to rough in his profile. Typically, he is a man (three out of four jumpers) in his 40s, and a Bay Area resident. Experience has taught observers to rule out the pedestrian who climbs a cable and poises irresolutely before the swan dive. Such behavior usually describes the "pseudo suicide," who does not really mean business; he can be coaxed, if necessary, to climb down...
