...sunned themselves in the open. From the first dawn of the ceasefire, Egyptians had splashed nude in the Suez. Last week the more restrained Israelis also ventured into the canal's waters, but they were instructed to keep on their flak jackets. The ceasefire also allowed newsmen to view the devastation wrought on the Egyptian side of the canal by Israeli bombing and shelling. Reported TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs: "In Ismailia, the towering twelve-story Suez Canal Authority headquarters looks like a giant piece of Swiss cheese, shredded with shell holes. The railway yards were a mass of twisted...
During the signing ceremony that afternoon, Brandt got his first long close-up view of Leonid Brezhnev, whose presence was a sign of the great significance the Soviets placed on the treaty. While Kosygin did the signing as the Soviet head of government, Party Chief Brezhnev hovered over the proceedings, grinning broadly and appearing ostentatiously jovial. Afterward, he even lingered behind, waving and clowning for photographers. Unexpectedly, Brezhnev invited Brandt to a private chat later that afternoon.

The elderly are notoriously vulnerable to hip fractures from even a light fall. In some cases, ribs or the long bones of the arms or legs fracture spontaneously, without a fall or noticeable trauma. The condition can also be congenital, and in such rare cases it becomes a lifelong affliction...
...years it was girls, flasks and sis-boom-bah. But the public image concealed an all-night reader who forged through Flaubert, Rimbaud, Joyce, Proust, Eliot, Pound, Cummings, Stein, Hemingway. In the fall of 1926, with a wad in his wallet and a life of leisure in view, he changed his name to Nathanael West and sailed off to Paris to join the Lost Generation. It was going to be ortolans all the way. But that winter the family fortune showed signs of imminent collapse. Early in 1927, West found himself working as night manager in a seedy little Manhattan...
