Artful Ally. De Gaulle's cool and correct independence was a welcome relief from the stereotyped and sterile unity in which Western responses are often couched. As an old connoisseur of insults, Khrushchev seemed appreciative of De Gaulle's, and was probably hopeful that he might have driven a wedge between the U.S. and France. De Gaulle's message delighted the French, who noted that De Gaulle had dispatched Couve de Murville to Rome and Bonn to line up continental countries behind his plan to speak for Europe at the summit.
