...Meanwhile, last week he sent Ambassador Wilhelm Grewe to Washington with orders to pass on some of the specifics of the German stand. Items: Bonn cannot extend de facto recognition to East Germany, although it is willing, under certain conditions, to talk to East Germany about arrangements for an all-German election. West Germany cannot accept any formalization of the Oder-Neisse line between East Germany and Poland, any project for disengagement in Central Europe, any plan for Germany as a non-nuclear zone...
Impressive reasons argue for staying. East German doctors can actually earn more than most of their West German colleagues and can usually command a house and car. And West Germany is officially opposed to the exodus, partly because West Germany has a surplus of doctors, partly because the government believes that if the spark of liberty is to be kept alive in East Germany, some intellectual leaders must remain. Minister for All-German Affairs Ernst Lemmer says carefully: "We wish these represent atives of the German intelligentsia would stick it out and lend their fellow citizens a moral and spiritual...
...State since the summits of World War II. Eisenhower, who did almost all the talking on the U.S. side, made it clear that the U.S. would negotiate on 1) reducing the size of Western garrisons in Berlin, 2.) cutting down propaganda and espionage activities, 3) setting up an all-German commission to work on long-range plans for German reunification.

...open to Moscow meddling. Early in the week Herter with lawyerlike logic spelled out Western objections, wound up by threatening to break off the talks unless Russia modified its stand. Gromyko then made a largely meaningless procedural concession, and agreed to discuss Berlin "simultaneously" with Russian plans for an All-German Commission. So eager is British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd to keep the talking going in Geneva so that he would not have to explain a breakoff to the House of Commons (before it adjourns July 30) that Lloyd persuaded his colleagues to forget their threats and return...
...almost all-German program, it was only proper that the first half be given over to J. S. Bach. There was the monumental Prelude and Fugue in G Major; and the three-movement Trio Sonata No. 1 in E Flat, one of the most treacherous challenges in the entire literature. Of the two chorale-preludes, Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier presented a constant parade of startling dissonances. Later periods were represented by Mozart's charming, if second-drawer, Sonata No. 15 in C; Brahms' rich-textured Fugue in A Flat Minor (a most rare key); and Hermann Schroeder's chorale...
