...note the progress the East Germans were making in renovating the hideous fence system they have built along the frontier to stop their citizens from escaping to the West. At one location, about 30 soldiers -guarded by other troops, in standard East German fashion-were sinking concrete pilings, stretching mesh wiring and installing self-firing explosives. Apparently the old system, consisting of two parallel mesh-wire fences with a minefield in front of each, was not considered deadly enough. Thus "improvements" are being made, at a cost of about $500,000 a mile...
...Another escape try from Missouri state pen, on March 10, 1966. Ray placed a dummy in his bed, shinnied up a pole to his cell window, used wire cutters to snip through the steel mesh, and crept through a shaft to a fan ventilator. He hid there until the next night, but when he tried to leave, guards nabbed...

Because of flagrantly injudicious behavior by the main trial judge (who was removed in January) and highly questionable bugging of the defendants and their lawyers during the trial, the verdict is sure to be appealed to higher courts...

Charlotte's selective memory of Marin in recent months protects her from accepting this new person, much as it protects her from ever accepting the possibility that "it" or "things" might not turn out all right...
...never forget that first Beanpot," says Richardson, whose sterling senior goaltending enabled Harvard to cop the coveted crown. They played it on back-to-back nights before 5100 sardined maniacs who threw fruit, eggs, and even firecrackers at the padded warriors guarding the sacred mesh, recalls the transplanted New Yorker who learned the goalie craft playing street-roller-hockey in Central Park...
