East and West have begun to live with the monstrosity of the wall. Berliners on both sides are permitted in spots to approach the wall to chat, even exchange foodstuffs and newspapers, if the Vopo guard feels indulgent. But anger remains. Sunny weekend weather brought a crowd of West Berlin youths to the border at Markgrafenstrasse. Some began throwing small paving stones at a Vopo water-cannon truck. The Vopos retaliated by firing a battering stream of water at the assailants-until a U.S. tank rumbled to the wall. The Vopo cannon's squirt quickly subsided into an embarrassed...
...Cold weather hangout for the Florida-vacationing Kennedy clan is Joe Kennedy's 16-room winter home on Millionaires' Row in Palm Beach. Modest by local Taj Mahal standards, the house has a simple, lived-in look.

Captain Philip Watts, radioed Sola, reported. "I can't see a thing." and said that he would make an instrument letdown. He made one futile pass, headed back out to sea to start another approach. "Cleared to descend to 1,400 feet." advised the Sola tower. There was no reply. Next morning, after an all-night sea and air search, the fire-gutted wreckage of "Papa Mike" was found...
...solve a given problem, it slips the answer to a tenacious portion of itself called AIDE (for Adapted Identification Decision Equipment), thus clearing its own mind for further study. AIDE never forgets. Raytheon is working on a more sophisticated version of the K-100 designed to control traffic, forecast weather, interpret electrocardiograms. Says Dr. Claude Shannon. Donner Professor of Science at MIT: "The Cybertron appears to be an important advance in an extremely important area of research...
