...driving young (44) Socialist Mayor Willy Brandt, who warned the world that Khrushchev's plan "clearly intends" having West Berlin cleared of Allied troops but left surrounded by Soviet divisions. Added the Berlin newspaper BZ: "We would be at the mercy of Communist intrigue. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin have shown us how it is done. Suddenly there is unrest in the 'free city.' Then there are riots. Then come the 'spontaneous demonstrations'. Red flags appear. There are fights. Someone calls the 'People's Police.' The police come-and they stay...
...Glowing Image. More than any other government in the world today. Red China is the long shadow of one man. At 65, Chairman-Mao Tse-tung is at once China's emperor, pope and father image.

Business is booming, the hammering sounds of construction fill the air, the shell of a new Hilton Hotel is rising near the sleek shops of the Kurfurstendamm...
...that West Germany could not "survive one day of modern war." To Walter Lippmann. Khrushchev turned right around and warned the West that, to avoid "suicidal" missile war, the Germans would probably turn to the East instead of the West, as they kid in the days of the Hitler-Stalin pact...
