...brought the Siberian army across on the trans-Siberian railroad and deployed them in five columns around Moscow. The fresh, well-officered Siberians pushed Von Bock's columns back out of artillery range of the capital. Then the Russian winter, the severest in 50 years, halted all but patrol activity. In the six months of snow and thaw, Zhukov, using methods like those employed by Trotsky in the civil war, created and equipped vast new armies...
Ancient & Entrenched. In both Mexico City and Washington last week, top officials anxiously agreed that Serrano* and thousands like him had a point. By beefing up its border patrol, the U.S. has cut wetback border crossings drastically; deportations, which averaged 80,000 a month in the 14 months before last September, are now running at less than 10,000 a month. The immigration machinery is running smoothly enough to handle an expected record number-350,000 to 400,000-of legal migrant workers this year.

After hearing Harrington's story, a teacher in the Denver audience rose and commented that a man would be crazy to keep the hours he had. "Well," answered Harrington with a smile, "one of my earliest Dawn patrollers has become a fine psychiatrist who seems to feel that he wouldn't have been...
...cooling the weather but not the city's jittery nerves. There were quiet Buddhist ceremonies in Chinese pagodas, a pink and white wedding at the cathedral, and an outward pose of calm. But heavily armed gangsters and cops of the Binh Xuyen sect, in their arsenic-green berets, patrolled the boulevards, ordering traffic, and blockading the city's approaches so that they could control the price and supply of rice. Steel-helmeted nationalist paratroopers of Premier Ngo Dinh Diem were also out on patrol, but they were restrained from getting rid of the terrorists by an uneasy...
