...June it will be 20 years since the airlift began to Berlin that saved that city after the Russians and East Germans had blockaded all surface communications. The city, as one man, hoped and prayed that the Allied airlift would be successful. In 1961, the Wall went up between West and East. One must wonder what would happen if once again Berlin was in danger, a city that has thrived under the protection of the Allies. The students should realise that they are using the democratic freedom of West Berlin to champion a cause that, if victorious, would withdraw their...

In the streets of Jerusalem, thousands of young sabras frolicked away the day and night to the hypnotic strains of the hora, then tumbled exhausted onto sidewalks and park grass to sleep. As the highlight of the biggest military parade in Israel's history, marking its 20th year...
...upstairs to reconnoiter and there is none other than Peter Behr of Linda LeClair fame chalking on the wall, "'Up against the wall, motherfucker,' from a poem by Leroi Jones." I get some chalk and write "I am sorry about defacing the walls, but babies are being burned and men are dying and this university is at fault quite directly." Also I draw some SANE symbols and then at 2:30 a.m. go to sleep...
