...faintly lit West Berlin sidestreet, a man sat behind the wheel of a dark sedan, waiting. A pretty girl carrying two bottles of Coca Cola crossed the sidewalk, glanced back at the sedan before letting herself into the house at 11 Heilbronner Strasse. The heavy, wrought-iron door clashed behind her, and she started up the narrow stairs. Above her there was a sudden sound of thudding feet and labored breathing. At the top of the stairs, a man appeared carrying the limp body of an elderly, bald-headed man. Behind him was a man she knew well-43-year...
...matter?" the girl cried. Glaeske put his finger to his lips, said nothing. Behind him came a dark-haired girl who muttered: "We must hurry to the first-aid station." The girl they had passed watched the group as they loaded the limp body into the sedan. She shrugged-strange things happen in divided Berlin-went up to her room and drank her cokes...
...salesman's superlative: 'I herewith ask you to buy America's greatest car for value, power, economy and styling-a 1954 Chevrolet. Advise.'

The two-door, four-passenger Volkswagen (sedan, convertible and sun roof), powered by a four-cylinder (30-h.p.), air-cooled engine in the rear, has been a fast seller in almost every market it has invaded.* Peppy (top speed: 68) and economical (32 miles to the U.S. gallon), the Volkswagen has become the postwar model T. It outsells all other cars in five European nations...
Competitor Cramer, accompanied by his wife and a Dutch co-driver and driving a Willys-Overland sedan, started from Athens, negotiated the relatively crude roads of Greece and Yugoslavia with little difficulty (unlike another Athens starter, Englishman Harry Sutcliffe, whose little Morris was badly shaken up by a large Yugoslavian sheepdog that rammed it head-on). Professor Cramer's trouble came in France. In the mountainous stretch between Le Puy and Valence, where swirling snows blinded drivers two years ago, the Cramers fell victim to the commonest of all traffic hazards, bungled directions, when they were sent down...
