Five Years Lost. For five years, the key aim of Soviet foreign policy in Europe was to prevent the firm establishment of a Western European alliance including a rearmed West Germany. With the ratification of the Paris accords, and the admission of the West German Republic into the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance (TIME, May 23), those five years of Russian effort ended in dismal failure...
...policy is, for many reasons the only one possible at present. First, and most important, the defense of the free world is now geared to plans for a rearmed West Germany which will contribute 12 divisions to NATO and serve as the first line of resistance. This course, the aim of Western foreign policy for the past four years, was assured only two months ago with the ratification of the Paris pacts.

For six-year-olds, there are three gaily illustrated booklets of stories about Tish and Mike, whose adventures make good beginnings for classroom discussions of religious truths. The booklets may well guide as many parents as children, showing Daddy and Mother coping wisely with such family crises as Mike's TV-induced nightmares and Tish's embezzlement...
