...Socialists are not allowed to publish a newspaper, and have a hard time recruiting new members. Kurt Neubauer, perhaps the ablest of their leaders-who is a member of the West German Bundestag-operates out of an office in two stove-heated rooms on the ground floor of an old apartment house in East Berlin. A Socialist mass meeting that he got Communist permission to hold back in 1954 was such a success that the People's Police have since rejected applications for anything bigger than back-room rallies.

...soon as Daimler-Benz was making money again, it went out to recapture its old racing honors.

Down to the Plains. As it turned out, Neubauer's brag was a little premature-only a little. With the three Mercédès chasing the speedy red Ferrari up over the 10,000-ft. pass to Toluca, down to Mexico's farm belt and into the dry cactus plains, Italy's Bracco lengthened his lead over Kling to seven minutes, left the other two Mercédès half an hour behind. But on the afternoon lap of the next-to-last day, Bracco's luck finally ran out. The clutch...
