"Even seamstresses couldn't believe how we put our coats and dresses together," said one West Berliner. "It was all I could do to keep them from tearing the garments apart to see how they were made."

All evening and most of the night, the tailing went on, from scruffy diners to B-girl bars, across Hackensack Meadows on Fish House Road, around rail-truck terminals. In the long hide-and-seek, the cars got separated, and the chief feared for Wally's life. But Wally played his part well.
