...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. Andrica was born in Radna, Rumania, and speaks six languages. The Cleveland area, with a population of 1,700,000, has some 750,000 residents who are either foreignborn or the children of foreign-born parents. The Press is a newspaper with...

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...
During weeks of hit-and-run sniping, the Viet Cong Communists ran up an impressive score. Two National Assembly Deputies were shot dead in a Jeep outside Banmethuot. A bus was dynamited. Several district chiefs were wounded. Fortnight ago, eight Vietnamese Catholic priests were kidnaped. The old pattern of isolated terror seemed to be reasserting itself, and Vietnamese morale sank steadily...
...faded khakis, splash through the marshes of the Mekong Delta or dart silently along jungle paths of South Viet Nam, pursuing their intent, murderous missions. On the road from Banmethuot last week, one band melted into the shadows as two members of the National Assembly approached in their Jeep. Then, at a signal from their leader, they raised their ancient rifles, clubs and swords and pounced with bloodcurdling cries.
