...enough to get battery radios and now keep up with current events and national issues with as much interest as you do. The discussions sometimes get a bit gusty, but I'd rather listen in on some of these sessions than sit in on The Pursuit of Happiness round table which LIFE ran. These people are really pursuing happiness. They are trying to get the last drop of pleasure out of life. Yet they have changed their outlook considerably since they have good books and magazines to read...
Captain Edward Hensch of Houston, Tex. was scheduled for a 2 p.m. take-off from Frankfurt's Rhein-Main airport on his second round to Berlin that day.

Sports are compulsory all year round for every man, on the proven theory that good athletes make good officers. The authorities have found that five times as many cadet officers come from the top ten percent in physical aptitude as from the bottom ten, while almost all maladjustments come from the physically inept. The cynical believe that West Point's uniformly excellent athletic teams are a cause, rather than an effect, of the theory behind them, while...
