...Bonnie Angelo's finest hour. Bonnie had been with Sidey and Photographer Walter Bennett on the press plane following Johnson. Her special assignment was Lady Birdwatching, and she went along as the unflagging First Lady drank ceremonial liquor in Pago Pago, patted kangaroos in Australia, and dug for burial urns in the Philippines.

The Armed Forces crisis over the pressure from German generals for more authority within the defense establishment has furnished the Social Democratic opposition with powerful ammunition against Erhard's government. And Germans in general are worried about the possibility of U.S. troop withdrawals, and doubt the determination of this country to defend them in case of Russian attack...
