...Khrushchev visited the little Rambouillet dairy originally created as a plaything for Marie Antoinette, the husbands walked the sandy paths of the chateau grounds, plowing through the whole range of East-West problems: disarmament, Algeria, Berlin, and the future of Germany. Out of their talks came a five-page communiqué. The volume of the prose was an unsuccessful attempt to conceal the lack of agreement in nearly every major area. Its chief news (apart from the fact that De Gaulle will visit Moscow) was that France and Russia had agreed to an exchange of scientific data -including information...
Shortly before Khrushchev's visit to the U.S. last year, Bulgaria's Ambassador to the U.N. signed a vaguely worded communiqué in Washington that the U.S. accepted as sufficient apology.

...influence in Asia to Peking. The Soviet leader attended a New Delhi ceremony at which his government extended $378 million credits to the Indians, and later he gave $250 million in low-interest loans to Indonesia.

One delegate tried to restrain the others by quoting an old tribal saying: "He who tries to eat before the others burns himself." Chief rival...
...brief communiqué ending the three-day exchanges barely mentioned the Berlin question, and when the Germans tried afterward to indicate that the Western Four had taken a stronger attitude on Berlin, another Western minister rejoined: "No-but we have not taken a weaker stand." This same minister, asked to say what the big confrontation accomplished, quipped that it had "relaxed tensions between the allies." In the end, every issue of substance was referred back to working committees for "further study." Working committees exist for just that; what miffed the members of these committees was that the Western Four...
