...most determined show of U.S. strength since the Berlin crisis began, but staged belatedly, over a narrow issue. If one U.S. bulldozer had been at work on Aug. 13 to stop East Germany when it put up the Wall, then last week's Jeep convoys, backed by growling tanks, would probably not have had to shuttle in and out of East Berlin to demonstrate Western rights...
...materiel of limited war. Around the world, Army units are getting a badly needed transfusion of modern equipment: the fully automatic M-14 rifle (which finally is replacing the famed M-1 of World War II), the lightweight M-60 machine gun, a lighter and livelier Jeep, the M-60 tank, and enough M-113 armored personnel carriers to give a lift to every footslogging infantryman in the Seventh Army...
...conveyance or other-sometimes a Simca, sometimes a Jeep, sometimes a mule-Theodore Andrica, 61, has ranged from Ireland to Israel on such kinship quests for 29 years. He is Nationalities editor of the Cleveland Press (circ. 385,347), a title that exists on no other U.S. newspaper and is handsomely suited to Andrica, Cleveland and the Press.

Could this be the real thing? Not exactly. In the middle of the armed mob was old Veni Vidi Video himself-Jack Paar...
...sector borders," they announced. Within hours, a thousand heavily armed Allied troops (600 Americans, 200 British, 200 French) were taking positions all along the 25-mile East-West city frontier. Where the Wilhelmstrasse enters Communist territory, a hard-bitten U.S. sergeant and his crew raced up in a Jeep armed with a 106-mm. recoilless rifle and parked with the gun's muzzle pointed directly across at the Reds. At Friedrichstrasse-the one entry point now open to non-Germans-a platoon of American infantrymen moved up directly to the border opposite a group of East German Vopos...
