...German delegations be included as full-fledged participants. To the West, this would be to concede in advance what the argument is about: it would involve its recognition of the legitimacy of the East German Communist regime. The Western powers flatly refused, insisted that the two German delegations could appear in the Council Chamber only as "advisers." Britain's Selwyn Lloyd conferred privately with Gromyko, who would not budge...

...hoped that our varying points of view would shine as brilliant examples of American freedom (of speech) but we discovered that our freedom (of disagreement) appeared to the Russians as anarchic lack of discipline. The fact that we did not always make fools of ourselves, and that we asked the Russians a number of embarrassing questions does not appear in the Ogonek article, due to the fact that it does not support the Soviet line that Americans are invariably helpless before the Soviet concept of truth...
