...explore German reunification, there would be no change in Berlin's status during their 18 months' talks (as the Russians proposed, or 2½years, as the West suggested). But afterward, if they failed to agree, would the Russians then unilaterally sign a peace treaty with the Communist East Germans? If so, said the West, Russia would still be holding a time bomb over Berlin, but merely lengthening the fuse. Answered Gromyko: The duration of the temporary agreement was "a matter neither of major importance nor of principle" to Russia, and if the German talks failed, Moscow contemplated...
...diplomats and their 16 dependents, life in Budapest is grey enough. They are often followed; their employees are often questioned and jailed. The Communist regime in Hungary is angered at the U.S. for steadfastly refusing to appoint a minister to the puppet regime, for trying to unseat Hungary's U.N. delegation following the 1956 revolt, and for giving continued asylum to Josef Cardinal Mindszenty in the U.S. legation in Budapest.

Cruising along at 40,000 ft. over the Formosa Strait, eight Chinese Nationalist F-86 Sabre jets picked out the white contrails of nearly a score of Communist MIG-17s in the early morning sunlight. With a confidence born of repeated successes in aerial clashes with Red pilots and with more than 2,000 flight hours per man logged in Sabre jets (an operational experience that is the envy of U.S. Air Force pilots), the Chinese Nationalists jumped the MIGs...
...compromise ("This," said an official of the Ministry of Labor, "is the most intractable strike we have known in years"), England faced the melancholy prospect of a near-complete newspaper blackout, with only two daily papers likely to continue publishing. The exceptions: the Manchester Guardian and London's Communist Daily Worker, which have ample reserves...
