Nickel was preceded into East Germany by Marshall Loeb, who edits TIME color projects, and Photographer Jerry Cooke.

Manchester interviewed such historic walk-ons as the presidential baggage-master, J.F.K.'s White House French teacher and a soldier who carried a wreath in the funeral procession.

He aims to become a real estate mogul by grabbing passels of farm land from his soldier-cousin Rad (John Phillip Law) and his Negro neighbor, Reeve (Robert Hooks...
Last summer the House Un-American Activities Committee treated the public to a rare political extravaganza. During its investigation of anti-war organizations a defense lawyer was hauled, screaming, from the hearing room, one witness appeared in the uniform of a revolutionary war soldier, and numerous spectators were ejected for yelling in the midst of the proceedings...
