...days last week, it seemed as if the episode could be avoided entirely. Bearing an important message, Ambassador Tsarapkin helicoptered 170 miles from Bonn to Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger's weekend home in Stuttgart. Over glasses of light Swabian wine, the two men chatted amiably as the Soviet diplomat explained a way out for both sides. If the West Germans would withdraw the Federal Assembly from West Berlin, the East Germans would allow West Berliners to pass through the Wall during the Easter holidays to visit relatives in East Berlin, the first such passage permitted in three years...
Breakneck Pace. Almost daily, letters pour into his home at Matsumoto from men looking for "a girl as pure as the limpid waters in the brooks of the Japan alps" or a young lady "with the most charming eyes," and from girls seeking the "right boy."

After the repairs were completed, a loan company claimed that with interest and other charges she actually owed $1,900. When the company threatened to take over her home, Bill Ide, one of the Legal Aid volunteers, promptly filed suit for his client. Charging contractor and loan company with...
...night is alive. Some 2,000 people-black, white and brown-are turned toward the stage, crying "Hallelujah" and "God be praised!" For more than an hour the tension has been building up. Testimonies, gospel songs, pledges, blessings, and more songs-a writhing, Presleyan, shirt-open gospel rock driven home by an organ, drums and piano combo. Women are swaying in the aisles, men clapping and shouting from their seats...
