...right down to setting a summit date. At Camp David, President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Macmillan agreed 1) on a foreign ministers' conference to begin on or about May 11 (TIME, March 16), and 2) to go to the summit late this summer. Addendum: the West will accept Polish and Czechoslovakian representatives as observers, but not, as Khrushchev had demanded, as participating delegates.

On the Continent, Cullmann is involved in discussions with Catholic colleagues "almost daily," and there are "many important questions of faith in which we are able...
...Spike" Canham had a hint of what might happen. A member of the chamber's board of directors for the past 5½ years, he had been asked in January whether he would accept a nomination for the post. Canham went back to Boston, searched his own mind, and huddled with colleagues for several days to determine whether accepting would compromise his integrity as an editor. He decided that it would not, gave the green light...
