On Sunday, August 13, 1961...
:01:43
the eyes of Americawere on the nation's capital...
:01:46
where Roger Maris was hittinghome runs number 44 and 45...
:01:49
against the Senators.
:01:51
On that same day,without any warning...
:01:53
the East German Communistssealed off the border...
:01:55
between East and West Berlin.
:01:58
I only mention this...
:01:59
to show the kind of peoplewe're dealing with...
:02:01
real shifty.
:02:03
Having been stationed in Berlinand having dealt with them...
:02:06
I know what I'm talking about.
:02:08
Let's go back to last June.
:02:10
Considering the abnormalsituation of a divided city...
:02:13
life in Berlinwas more or less normal.
:02:15
Traffic flowed freelythrough the Brandenburg Gate...
:02:17
and it wasn't reallytoo much trouble...
:02:18
to pass from one sideof the Iron Curtain...
:02:20
to the other.
:02:21
Some of the East German policewere rude and suspicious.
:02:24
Others were suspicious and rude.
:02:26
The eastern sector,under Communist domination...
:02:29
was still in rubble...
:02:30
but the people went abouttheir daily business...
:02:33
parading.
