...Germans would accept such a scheme, which is far closer to the old spirit of Rapallo than to the New Nationalism. But the Berlin stalemate tends to stifle West Germany's spirit, restricts its activities in other fields; the resulting irritation forces many to the conclusion that something must be done, though no one knows quite what. The fact that the West Germans are even considering "direct" talks with Russia reflects a significant psychological shift. It will require some getting used to by West Germany's allies, but it is not necessarily dangerous to Western unity. As TIME...
...dire presence of M. Did they meet, or didn't they? Even Resnais and Robbe-Grillet don't agree on that, nor is there any reason why they should. Ambiguity, after all, only presents difficulty to the person who wants to resolve it. Quite clearly, one ought to accept L'Annee Derniere on its own terms, which are patently ambiguous.

Such a weirdly distorted picture of the U.S. is one that countless Asian, African and Latin American students are prone to accept-seemingly as a consequence of their education, for the common people of the same regions often candidly admire everything American. Last week at his press conference, President Kennedy addressed himself to the irony of widespread student hostility to the U.S., which Attorney General Robert Kennedy confronted on his trip to the Far East...
