''Millions of Englishmen cannot forget the tragic lot of Coventry," or the Czechs, Lidice. Could the West be sure a rearmed West Germany "will not attack its present partners again?" Khrushchev's underlying theme was that he rejects German reunification. The Communists are there to stay in East Germany (see below), and the only kind of reunification that can be hoped for is a confederation...

The surface events are relatively predictable-divorce, remarriage, dismissal by his Wall Street firm, a heart attack. But it becomes clear that for the most part these events are not accidents, that they are not even results of Alfred Eaton's education, past, or environment, but that they are fated by a small, icy crack in his being. The reader is forced to look backward over the story and to revise-what seemed love is suddenly revealed as the very...
