...week's end De Gaulle heard more unpleasant news from his good friend, west Germany's Chancellor Adenauer. French Premier Michel Debré had flown to Bonn to try to explain De Gaulle's plans for building up the six-nation European Community at NATO's expense and for establishing his own, $1.3 billion nuclear defense force independent of NATO. Adenauer wants no part of plans that would weaken NATO, and he produced a powerful argument: a private letter from President Dwight Eisenhower warning that any change in the structure of NATO might lead...
...called the pass rule "completely illegal," since it violated the old four-power wartime agreements. But as with all Soviet harassment in Berlin, the problem is what effective counter-measures may be taken. The U.S., British and French ambassadors to Bonn hurried into consultation with the West Germans to consider whether to retaliate by curtailing East Germany's $250 million annual trade with Bonn.

Accordingly, falling back on the technique with which wives have brought straying husbands to heel since the dawn of time, the shrewd old Chancellor embarked on a new flirtation...
Many Cuban career diplomats, dismayed by Castro's use of embassies for revolution, have either quit or invited purging. Out so far: at least a dozen officers, including the ambassadors to Bonn, London, Ottawa, Bern, Rome, San Salvador. Last week Havana's vice consul in Los Angeles, a diplomat for 18 years, proudly resigned from "Castro Brothers & Co., exclusive representatives of Moscow and Peking in America...
