...American observers-ranging in political coloration from liberal Democratic Governors to conservative Republican Senators-reported back to President Johnson that the election victory of Lieut. General Nguyen Van Thieu (see cover story) seemed fair. To be sure, the observers could not be everywhere, and in most cases were taken in tow by Vietnamese officials. "We could all possibly have been bamboozled," allowed New Jersey's Democratic Governor Richard J.

But though Berlin's fashion industry has made the biggest eastward strides, the city's Siemens and Telefunken electronics plants, its razor-blade factories and other industries are also sending salesmen behind the Iron Curtain. Last month East Germany ordered 1,500 railroad cars and $12.5 million worth of cable from West Berlin; the city in turn bought milk from nearby East German state farms, despite vehement objections from West Germany's powerful farmers' union...
