Dulles was in a somewhat awkward position. He expected the meeting to produce nothing new on the old problems-Korea, German unification, the European Defense Community, NATO, Indo-China. Such questions were, and would continue to be, under constant discussion among the three nations at several diplomatic levels. On the other hand, he did expect Salisbury and Bidault acting on instructions, to press for a Big Four meeting-a proposal to which Dulles did not want to say yes and could not, for amity's sake, flatly say no.

Often awkward last year, Mathews is "a major-league third baseman now," says Grimm. Fleetfooted Outfielder Bruton (30 stolen bases last year), usually the Braves' lead-off batter (.273), ranges centerfield like a hawk. Flanking Bruton are a pair of old pros, Leftfielder Sid Gordon, 34, and Rightfielder Andy Pafko...
