...European Parliament in Strasbourg ringingly condemned Charles de Gaulle's imperious thumbs down on British membership in the Common Market. As a result, declared Common Market Chairman Walter Hallstein, the Six have been plunged into their "first real crisis-a crisis of confidence." In European capitals from Bonn to Rome, France's Common Market partners spoke bravely of ganging up on De Gaulle, perhaps by blocking his plans for associating France's former African colonies with Europe, or even by boycotting French goods...

"Europe without Britain is unthinkable," declared Vice Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, leader of the West German Common Market delegation. From...
...exchange for a softer policy on travel across the Wall, the Communists were demanding huge money credits from Bonn. A woman in the American sector said wanly, "Nobody here is hoping any more. My daughter and grandchildren are in East Berlin, only five minutes' walk from here. But I haven't been able to speak to them since September 1961." Though the reunion of families is banned.
