...shift of emphasis from conventional military forces to nuclear "firepower" as a primary goal of the Eisenhower Administration. Heusinger also brought U.S. "reassurances" that the Radford plan was not yet policy, and last week both Dulles and Britain's Selwyn Lloyd promised West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano that "for the time being" they do not intend to reduce their combat potential in West Germany...
...conciliatory, free of threats of what would happen if he refused. John Foster Dulles worked on a scheme for a new Constantinople treaty, so that Egypt need not accept what it had already spurned.

But the new partner still has a long way to go to make...
...certainly no salvation for the present, said West Germany's Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano next day. He and the Adenauer administration are having trouble enough to meet their minimum obligations to NATO in the prevailing apathy. Until the Russian changes prove much more trustworthy, he indicated, it is premature to let wolves into the same pen with the sheep...
