...addition to imposing strict travel control over passenger and freight traffic between West Berlin and West Germany, Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht has solemnly decreed that no senior of ficials of the West German government may set foot on East German territory. Last week Ulbricht's law was flouted by his closest ally. After secret arrangements worked out by the Soviet Union through Swedish intermediaries, a black Mercedes with a Russian driver called for West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt in West Berlin, whisked him past East German checkpoints without even bothering to stop, and drove him to a suburban...
...allies were reluctant to take any retaliatory action, such as refusing to grant travel documents to East Germans for trips to NATO countries, because the East Germans had carefully left U.S., British and French access rights untouched. For its part, the West German government was unwilling to hit Ulbricht where it would hurt him most-restricting inter-German trade-since that would also hurt the average East German. Kurt Kiesinger's Grand Coalition is committed to a policy of trying to make life easier, not harder, for the East German population. Furthermore, because of the partial success...
...coming in, you're going to have to go over me," snarled Brown and, said the deputies, straight-armed one officer seven feet back into a wall. Police reinforcements soon overcame Brown's defense.

The prosecutor later dropped the assault charge when Eva refused to name Jimmy as the assailant...
...more likely candidate for early cancellation is the subsonic A-300 Anglo-French-German airbus, a short-range craft (up to 1,500 miles) planned for such heavily traveled routes as London to Paris. Though the three countries have poured $12 million into its development, the plane scarcely matches the promised performance of U.S. airbuses. Lockheed's L-1011, for example, will fly almost twice as far, carry more passengers (345 v. 298), cost $15 million as against the A-300's $11 million. McDonnell Douglas' DC-10 holds a somewhat similar edge. And the U.S. models...
...popular with friends that Margarete soon gave up dressmaking, began turning out other stuffed animals with the help of relatives. When several Steiff-made bears wound up as table decorations at the 1906 White House wedding of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy's daughter, the resulting publicity made the German company bullish on bears; the following year it sold 974,000 cuddly Teddy bears...
