...discourage-"American sex propaganda" and "beat music." Worst offender of all was one of East Germany's few youthful talents, Balladier Wolf Biermann, 29. Biermann's slangy, sardonic songs describe life in the shadow of the Wall as something less than idyllic. They were pronounced guilty of "ill-concealed bourgeois anarchistic socialism," and, worse still, skepticism...
...Efficiency. In Labor politics, Jenkins has always been on the right: pro-Europe, pro-NATO, ill at ease with the party's radical, Utopian socialists.

"I saw John and George in Liverpool a couple of minutes," he notes. "We're still the best of friends. I asked them, 'How's your mother...
Back on earth, the astronauts themselves seemed to be pictures of good health. Within three days after their return, Borman had completely regained the 9.6 Ibs., Lovell the 5.9 Ibs. lost during their trip in space. Neither showed any outward signs of ill effects, and while medical studies were still not complete, the early results looked good. Said NASA Dr. Charles Berry: "A quick look at the data available to us indicates that man has fared extremely well in two weeks of space environment...
