...present a united front at its annual party convention in Düsseldorf last week. This was not easy, for as the 3,500 delegates assembled in the austere exhibition hall, it was clear that many high-ranking C.D.U. leaders were sharply at odds with one another. Former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had made no secret of his contempt for Erhard and his policies. To the horror of C.D.U. strategists, he made plain his intention of saying so at the convention. "Praise or criticism," growled Adenauer, "it must come out in the open." In the end, however, Keynote Speaker Adenauer relented...

The operation was so secret that Bonn's Foreign Ministry only discovered it by accident late...
Other fighter-type V/STOLs have already flown, but Ling-Temco-Vought's XC-142As are full-scale troop carriers, and they are remarkably agile. LTV's Director of Flight Operations John Konrad took his plane through a series of 360° turns only 20 ft. off the ground, then flew backward and forward with equal ease. Both pilots then reached for the one cockpit control that would have been out of place in a conventional plane: the lever that controls the two powerful screwjacks that can turn the wings until they point skyward or roll them back into...
