...Burma's U Thant himself who took a broader line. He promised to clear out Tshombe's white soldiers ("professional adventurers who fight and kill for money"). He added: "The U.N. position, it seems to me, is automatically against all armed activities against the central government and against secessionist forces."

But it was getting tougher, for the Communists were building the barrier higher and broader. Hearing the news from home, West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, visiting the U.S., grimly told a Manhattan audience that whatever else is negotiated, "that wall in Berlin must come down...
