...second major study in this week's magazine deals with West Germany's Chancellor Willy Brandt and the Soviet-German renunciation-of-force pact. Five of TIME'S European bureaus contributed extensively to the story, which was written by William Smith, researched by Anne Tan and Isabelle Kayaloff and edited by David Tinnin. But primary responsibility for the reporting fell to Bonn Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate, who recently observed that "Willy Brandt in his own way has done what De Gaulle failed to do-build bridges in Europe."

As David Bruce assumed his new post as chief U.S. delegate to the Paris talks, the Communists scorned his call, repeatedly made by other Americans in the 77 previous sessions, for some...
...served five years as Development Aid Minister through two governments; his staying power was such that he dubbed himself "the Mikoyan of the F.D.P." It was he who led the F.D.P. to flip-flop from right to left, and was instrumental in forming the coalition that brought Willy Brandt to the chancellorship last October. His only concession to the formality of his new post was to forsake his sporty blue BMW for the properly ministerial black Mercedes limousine...
