...Christian Democrats. The extent of the disagreement is likely to become more evident this week when the Bundestag opens a debate on the East German question. The Free Democrats, whose 49 Deputies constitute the only opposition in the Bundestag to the Socialists and Christian Democrats, want West Germany to sign a treaty with East Germany that would recognize each state as a separate and sovereign political entity "within the German nation." The Free Democrats have found sympathizers among about one-third of the delegates to last week's Socialist congress in Bad Godesberg. Two important regional delegations even pushed...
...Committees for the Defense of the Revolution in Havana. Emerson buzzed with frenetic activity, the intense conversations punctuated by the thunk, thunk, thunk of two hard-working-mimeograph machines. On the wall hung a great poster portrait of Lenin, and stairways were decorated with slogans and placards. One sign read: "A revolution without joy is hardly worth the trouble."

Even so, last week's game had all the aura of a new and extraordinary...
...kind of freak record by committing three errors on three balls hit by the same player in the same inning.* For another, they came from behind and defeated the Cardinals 8 to 7. The resulting delirium was just too much for one group of fans who excitedly waved a sign that read: EXPOS-WORLD SERIES OR BUST...
