...study, by cognition experts and economists at the University of Bonn in Germany, looks at the brain regions that process reward. Nineteen pairs of subjects performed a series of tasks, estimating the number of dots on a screen, while their brains were scanned. Each time a subject answered correctly, he or she won a cash prize but the prizes were not always the same. Players could see whether their opponents had answered correctly, and how the prize money was distributed...
Berlin Problems. When Walter Scheel reached Moscow three weeks ago, he insisted that the agreement make clear that Bonn was not renouncing Germany's right to reunification. From almost the beginning, the clowning and informal Scheel seems to have hit it off with the austere Gromyko. In the formal talks at the Spiridonoff Palace, Scheel stressed that Soviet concessions on Berlin were essential to any agreement. Specifically, he demanded signs of progress in the stalled four-power talks about Berlin. At one point, Gromyko snapped at Scheel: "Berlin is not your concern"-meaning that the divided city remains...
...first letter, from Bonn to Moscow, will state that German aspirations toward eventual peaceful reunification are not contradictory to the spirit or intent of the new treaty.

On both points, the Soviets acceded to Bonn's demands...
Security Conference. In many ways, the key ingredient of the Treaty of Moscow is what it may do for Europe tomorrow.

Western Europe, which has leaned so heavily in America's direction for 25 years, will begin to right itself and gradually pull away from America's orbit. Because of the expected expansion of the Common Market, the dream that Charles de Gaulle so cherished...
...meantime, the Bonn-Moscow accord in all likelihood will lead to a European security conference, which the Soviets wish to convene-possibly in Helsinki-as a means of gaining full international endorsement of the status quo in Europe. In such a conference, which would be attended by the U.S. and Canada as well as all European countries, the participants would pledge to respect each other's boundaries; they would also discuss a mutual reduction of forces between NATO and the Warsaw Pact nations. The security conference would be, in fact, an updated version of the 19th century Congress...
