...amorous panic, the Bundeswehr had to ask the Bavarian radio to broadcast an announcement to quiet the aggrieved wives. But one officer felt not so much indignant at East German trickery as he did despairing about West German women: "They didn't stop to think, didn't use their heads, or refuse to believe the letters out of confidence in their husbands. No. They opened them, read them and, instantly, they were convinced." Another officer had a different concern. "I hope," he mused thoughtfully, "that soldiers now won't get the idea of nonchalantly palming off real...
...only fitting in a nation that prides itself on scientific social organization, the rampage was carefully controlled. Early in the week the Soviet press published meticulous accounts of the damage -mainly broken windows-inflicted on the Soviet embassy in Bonn by German students protesting the execution of Hungarian Revolutionaries Imre Nagy and Pal Maleter.

The scene was the West German Radio's Studio for Electronic Music in Cologne. The occasion: an international convention of 800 musicologists, gathered to sample the latest wares of Europe's hippest center for avant-garde music...
...midafternoon, Reuters agency announced that its Moscow correspondent had been cut off as he was telephoning his account of the rioting mobs before the West German embassy (see FOREIGN NEWS). Most Fleet Street editors sighed resignedly and sat back to wait until the Russian censor lifted the blackout. But in a cluttered, dingy office in the Manchester Guardian's London bureau, rumpled, high-domed Victor Zorza grabbed a street map of Moscow, picked out the police stations nearest the German embassy. Minutes later, a desk man in Moscow's police station 88 picked up his telephone, was astounded...
