...confinement in Spandau had a greater personal meaning for him than his important role in Nazi Germany. One reason is that the Nazi era lasted only twelve years, while Speer remained jailed in Spandau until 1966-a full 20 years. Originally built to house about 600 convicts, the mammoth, rust-red prison was requisitioned after World War II by the Allies for the sole purpose of locking up Speer and six other senior Nazi officials. To this day the U.S., Russia, Britain and France maintain a special commission (and a guard force of 25 to 30 men each...
...back of the land. She erupts in wide wings of earth, shucking off the road like a peel of plastic on an orange juice can. A bent, black ziptop on the unyielding earth. Bare and mute. Wyoming swells to dwarf the trucks hard-panting up her hills. In rust hues the sky descended upon her forlorn tracts, swallowing puny hamlets: a cafe, a grocery store, a gas station, a truckstop, a few shacks, 200 people--all in white; and blistering vacant roads.

...influx of people gives the impression of great hustle and bustle among the ruins," reports TIME Cairo Bureau Chief Wilton Wynn, who recently visited Suez city. "Three knocked-out Israeli tanks are gathering rust at the entrance to the city, with little children playing soldiers on them. In a building still blackened from being burned out, a baker pulls trays of flat bread out of the makeshift oven, while a shop opened beneath twisted iron shutters offers transistors and domestic appliances. Above the din of the crowd, there is the hum of bulldozers and the clatter of sledgehammers as workers...
