...wild-eyed I.R.A. troopers in their makeshift gray-green uniforms and slouch hats. Many of them refused to lay down arms even after partition in 1921. This established the Irish Free State in the South, and in the North left six counties of Ulster predominantly Protestant (see map) as an integral part of the United Kingdom, with its own Parliament at Stormont. First the gunmen fought against the Black and Tans, the hated English force that policed the last vestige of British rule in the early '20s, an era immortalized in John Ford's classic film The Informer...
...drove South "... down, down the map into orange groves and smoking rivers and barefoot women." He dreamed of his old basketball days, and his old laying-Janice-in-the-backroom days, and of making it with a DuPont in Delaware. Then he stopped at a gas station, and found he was travelling in circles. The stupid farmer at the gas-pump said: "The only way to get somewhere, you know, is to figure out where you're going before you go there...
Fourth Party, Whatever happens at the black convention next spring, black leaders plan to impose a set of demands on the Democratic Convention.

All along the border, artillery exchanges and firefights kept the situation tense and dangerous through the week. Scene of the biggest battle...
Most of the exclaves are scarcely worth arguing about-unoccupied meadowlands and swamps or small farms too far into East Germany to be of much practical concern to West Berlin (see map). Two exclaves on the Havel River, Erlengrund (one acre) and Fichtenwiese (nine acres), are the sites of some 150 summer houses or cottages belonging to West Berliners. Homeowners can reach their property for a few hours' outing only through a heavy steel-plated door in the Wall. They must summon a Vopo by pressing a black plastic button beside the door. Then they must cross the sandy...
