...Democratic side, affable, grey-haired Roy Archibald, 47, defeated Edward Keating, 42, former publisher of the New Left Ramparts magazine, by 15,069 votes to 8,881. Keating, who billed himself as the "real" peace candidate, stood fast for Proposition P. Archibald, a wartime PT-boat skipper who is a West Coast spokesman for the National Education Association and an able former mayor of San Mateo, voiced mild qualms over U.S. tactics in Viet Nam but supported the U.S. commitment...
...complete. The tax-free shops of Aden's Steamer Point, which once swarmed with cruise-ship tourists, are now boarded up and deserted. The Crescent Hotel, hub of colonial life, is virtually empty. Aden harbor, no longer a port of call, was filled last week with the glowering grey warships of the British fleet, including the 43,000-ton aircraft carrier H.M.S. Eagle.

...stone-grey East German city of Wittenberg, where Martin Luther posted his 95 theses, last week banners proclaiming SOCIALISM WILL CONQUER THE WHOLE WORLD overhung the main streets. At kiosks, vendors peddled a new kind of Kewpie doll - portly and dressed in the brown robes of an Augustinian monk. In one shop window, portraits of Luther and Lenin glared at each other across the open pages of an ancient Bible. Thus was the 450th anniversary of the Reformation celebrated in the midst of a "democratic socialist" republic...
