After dark Münchners and tourists flock to the Eve Bar, where Mandy Rice-Davies recently made her professional debut (as a singer) and dress-busting B-girls quaff French champagne while nudes stroll through a cage full of tigers. Aleco's, headquarters for the sports-car set, has walls hung with a Scots tartan, sells Scotch for only 50½ a drink.

Guarded by Grepos (Communist border police) with orders to shoot anything that moves, the no man's land is sown with mines and foot traps, every one tightly laced with three rows of barbed wire...
...area. Vast green stretches and extensive recreation areas, with industries scattered among them for easy accessibility (Ford Aeronutronic and Collins Radio have already moved in), will break up the city. "These communities will not be dominated by the auto," says Pereira. "They will be walking communities where women can stroll to the shops with their children just as their grandmothers...
