The last great exodus of refugees from the East is processed at the Marienfelde Center as the Communist German regime moves to close its border against further flights to West Germany. Troops swooped down on the border between Red Berlin and the Free City in the pre-dawn hours to close routes between the sectors. East Berliners were told to give up their jobs in the West and Mayor Willy Brandt called on all Berliners to keep calm and avoid provoking Soviet Troops who took up positions along side their East German counterparts. United States New World Record In Swin Meet Becky Collins, a-17-year-old lass from Indianapolis, cracked the world record in the 200-meter Butterfly Swim in 2:32.8. She displayed perfect form in out-swimming her competition in Philadelphia's Kelly pool. In the 10-meter platform diving Barbara McAllister had what it takes to win the AAU crown.

Their passion then, as now, was horses and today's 97th running of the Travers proved a thriller as race horse 'Beau Prince' ran away with the classic. Street scenes of people, automobiles, and stores of Saratoga Springs, New York in the early 1930’s and later in 1961. Scene of the famed Lincoln Baths building and bath pricing sign. --Contemporary Royalty Free Stock Footage Library: --Business ---- Celebrations ---- Concepts ---- Education ---- Generations ---- Health and Medical ---- Lifestyles --Modern Military ---- Nature Scenic ---- Nature Wildlife ---- Environmental Education ---- On Location ---- Sports Today --U.S. Presidents ---- Weather Watch ---- Contemporary Tragedies And Disasters ---- Motion Graphics - Special Effects --Historical Public Domain Stock Footage Library: --Historic Military And Nuclear Films ---- Newsreels: Events At Home And Around The World ---- Flashback In Time --NASA Space Exploration ---- Classic Cartoons ---- Christmas Programming ---- Religious Programming --Hollywood Films, Television And Trailers ---- Classic Cuts: Single Clip Downloads --Buyout Footage Company Links: --Buyout Footage Homepage ---- About Buyout Footage ---- Stock Footage License Info ---- Submitting Footage To Us --Buyout Footage Site Search ---- Buyout Footage Sitemap ---- Buyout Footage Return Policy --Email Us - Stock Footage Request
