...then the course has been downhill. Nehru's illness and death were followed by the accession of tiny, introspective Lai Bahadur Shastri as Prime Minister. Almost immediately, Shastri himself suffered a heart attack; and although he seems recovered, he has stayed close to Delhi, making no attempts to travel and show himself to the Indian masses, who will not give their loyalty to a remote and unknown figure...
Once in Congress, Lyndon was on a whirlwind rise, and Lady Bird rocketed along beside him. In 1948, when he ran for the Senate, Lady Bird swallowed her shyness, forced herself to travel all over Texas, if only to say howdy at barbecues.

Professional Polish operators regularly swing far bigger deals. Gangs travel two or three times a week to the Baltic port of Gdynia, where they...
...vacationing West Germans flocked to and from their cities last week, 150 extra trains rolled across the country between the Baltic coast and the Alps. Although Germany has one of the highest automobile densities in Europe-one car for every eight people-travel still means trains. And trains in Germany mean Deutsche Bundesbahn, the federal railway whose reasonable fares, remarkable luxury and religiously on-time operation make it a favorite of the German people. With 19,000 track miles, the Bundesbahn is not only one of the West's largest railway systems-it was put together in 1920 from...
