...Airman Norstad makes nothing of either time or space in the pursuit of NATO business. "There is a sort of Roman aspect about Norstad," says André de Staercke, permanent Belgian representative on the NATO Council. "There are no borders for this man. Any morning he is apt to say: 'We will be in Ankara at 8 o'clock tonight.' " Often such flying trips serve primarily as valuable propaganda for NATO; sometimes they herald a new departure in the defense of Europe. A few months ago in Italy Norstad moved an audience to tears by declaring: "There...

Even as he chatted, he inadvertently revealed the major qualities that won him the award−an unflagging humanism coupled with an unremitting skepticism. Pressed to make "one wish in the name of humanity," Camus unhesitatingly answered, "Freedom." Asked about his enemies, he replied with a shrewd Gallic twinkle: "One has to know how to make people forgive success...
...André Malraux once defined the task of modern man as filling the void left by the 19th century's loss of faith. He himself has recently retreated to the religion of art, embracing the Nietzschean view that "we have art in order not to die of the truth."
