The Albania and Berwick stories about lingering wars

Could the story that Albania remained at war with the United States into the 1960s be true?

Clarke accepts the story and compares it with the Berwick-upon-Tweed anecdote; the exchange does not verify the underlying declarations or settlements.

Clarke accepts an audience story that Albania remained formally at war with the United States into the 1960s after its declaration was overlooked. He initially recalls the Isle of Man, then identifies Berwick-upon-Tweed in the anecdote about Russia and a 1966 settlement. He uses these stories to distinguish the end of fighting from the formal closure of a conflict. Neither declaration nor peace document is examined in the exchange, and the recollection shifts between places.
