...cold, cloudy morning in Berlin. Just before 8 o'clock, five blue-grey German-made sedans pulled up at the western end of Glienicker Brücke. the steel-trussed bridge that spans the sleepy Havel River between the U.S. zone and Communist territory. A group of 20 American military men and civilians got out and waited. Five minutes later, other cars approached the bridge from the Communist side. Their occupants emerged and stood talking. Finally, two men detached themselves from the opposing groups and walked across the white stripe, in the center of the bridge, that marks...
...whose superior, Mother Anne Stoepel, had been a teacher at Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in Purchase, N.Y., when Ethel and her Kennedy sisters-in-law, Eunice Shriver and Jean Smith, were schoolgirls there. (Mother Stoepel was transferred to Japan by her religious order in 1959.) To the grey-uniformed girls of the upper school, Ethel delivered a little speech that was warmly applauded even though its train of thought was a bit hard to follow.

...samba, the mambo, the cha cha cha-is also popular, often under the guise of "native folk dances" of Cuba, Russia's Communist friend.

...also the fattest and most bourgeois, charge its critics. Years ago, Togliatti's double-breasted suits had become the symbol of Italy's "respectable" Communism, seeking power not through revolution but in Parliament and at the polls. These days, more and more Italian comrades wear well-cut grey flannel, while their women appear at party functions in modish sweaters with tasteful single strands of pearls. But right now there are some bad rips in the party's grey-flannel respectability...
...time Connally announced his candidacy, Price Daniel had not committed himself to run for reelection. But the temptation to become Texas' first four-term Governor turned out to be too much. A small (5 ft. 8 in.), grey-haired man with a winsome smile and a squeaky voice, Daniel hardly fits the image of the flamboyant Texas politician-but Texans seem to like him, and he is a formidable vote-getter. This year he can point to a scandal-free administration and a record of modest achievement in highway construction, industrial development and teachers' pay raises...
