...icebreaker Atka steamed into antarctic waters early last January, but to collect scientific data and scout out a site for a large-scale U.S. geophysical expedition in 1957-58. Off Little America, the Atka made an unwelcome discovery: the Bay of Whales, which had served as a harbor for Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd's expeditions in 1928, 1933, 1939 and 1946, had disappeared.

...foreign students saw a film history of the city. In the back of the room sat a number of professors and German guests. Halfway through the action came a Chaplinesque scene of soldiers goose-stepping down Unter Den Linden to 3 rally. "Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!" sounded from the rear and lasted until the scene was over. The laughter was neither pleasant nor bitter. It was something eerie to be turned on land off at a signal...
