Traveling Light. The nexus of activity was Fort Hood, Texas, home of the 2nd Armored. The "Hell on Wheels" outfit lived up to its name in Germany in 1945, when it bridged the Rhine in seven hours under heavy fire and began the race to Berlin. Some of the soldiers in Big Lift had not even been born then, and for two weeks before the operation began, all traffic signs at Fort Hood bore identical English and German phrases for the benefit of young tankers and truck drivers...
...night, a fleet of 70 chartered buses shuttled the G.I.s across the flat, dusty Texas plains to four nearby air-bases. So tight was the schedule they followed that on the 75-minute trip from Fort Hood to Bergstrom, precisely eleven minutes were allowed for stop lights. In groups of 70 or 80, perspiring soldiers in itchy o.d.s tramped up the ramps; inside the windowless cargo planes the temperature hit 110°, and the men shucked shirts and even T shirts until they were airborne and began cooling...
...decision to enforce the integration of the University of Alabama. The film unfolds like a drama. With pictures of Robert Kennedy and his family at a birth-day party in Bobby's house, of George Wallace's baby daughter thinking piano and kissing father, of Vivian Malone and James Hood in a Cadillac an route to school, and of President Kennedy, tired and pensive, the principal characters are introduced.

Under federal court order, two Negroes, James Hood and Vivian Malone, were scheduled to enroll in the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa last June. For months prior to that, University President Frank Rose had painstakingly planned to comply with the court order in a way that would avoid violence. Rose made it perfectly plain that he did not want Wallace butting...
...placing more emphasis on a new and bigger Volkswagen: the Volkswagen 1500, which bears little resemblance to its beetle-shaped little brother, now officially designated the 1200. The 1500 is about six inches longer and three inches wider than the 1200, has fairly orthodox lines and a pronounced front hood -even though its more powerful engine remains in the rear. It sells in Germany for $1,500 for a two-door sedan, $300 more than the 1200 sedan, also comes as a station wagon for $1,600. Nordhoff hopes to double output of the bigger Volkswagen to 2,000 cars...
