...accident that Rainer Barzel chose to make his controversial proposals on reunification before the American Council on Germany in Manhattan last week. For months, he had watched the upsurge of German interest in new moves toward reunification. But on his last visit to Washington in April, he found senior officials totally unaware of either the depth or strength of West German feeling. After his speech last week, State Department officials cautiously let it be known that they were re-examining the matter. For while Barzel is relatively unknown in the U.S., he is deputy chairman of the Christian Democratic Union...
...Cameron gave the pills, trade-named Cylert by North Chicago's Abbott Laboratories, as tough a test as he could devise. For subjects he chose men aged 49 to 85 whose memories had been impaired by severe hardening of the brain's arteries or by the deterioration of aging generally known as senile psychosis. He divided his 24 patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Albany into two equal groups and gave half of them Cylert for the first week while the other half got an identical-looking placebo (sugar pill).

Indeed, when they sat down in the modernistic Palais des Congrès on a hilltop in Brussels, their principal problem was France, not Russia, and most of the rest of the discussion was concerned with devising some sort of rapprochement with Eastern Europe...
...seek to unify the monarchists. The head of the new secretariat is José Maria de Areilza, the Count of Motrico, who has acted as Franco's ambassador to Argentina, France and the U.S. To improve "domestic relations"-meaning contacts with the Franco government-Don Juan chose Florentine Pérez Embid, a prominent Madrid University historian and member of the influential Opus Dei movement. Though the new secretariat would resign if Don Juan assumes the monarchy, in the meantime it can promote in Spain what Don Juan cannot do from exile: the image of a benevolent, progressive constitutional...
