...observation about your article on Gibraltar [Sept. 22]: My family "discovered" the Costa del Sol, and an ancestor was admiral-governor of Gibraltar. I have very good friends of every kind there and would like to make a true and neutral comment: even if 99.2% voted against annexation to Spain, 99.9% would honestly wish an arrangement with Spain. But, as always, politics creates such complex problems that our short lives are dominated by a couple of people who, for the sake of their local pride, make thousands suffer-in this case...

A far-left group wants West Berlin to become a neutral "bridge" between East and West, while others maintain that West Berlin must remain committed to the West for protection.

Charlebois of Gary, Ind., Viet Nam director of CRS: "We are here on the invitation of the government of Viet Nam to help needy...
...manufacturers whose fortunes depend heavily on housing. Snaith decided that one thing ailing the invalid housing industry is that today's houses are built to appeal to women (with emphasis on bathrooms and bedrooms) instead of men (who like foyers and dining rooms). He regards kitchens as neutral territory, half favored by men, half resented by women (because they spend so much time cooking there). As a result, continues Snaith, "it's the man who doesn't want to move. Nobody provides him with a stimulus to buy a house...
