Last week there was new evidence that the quarrel between the partners is becoming increasingly acrimonious. Writing in the London Sunday Times, Polish-born Kremlinologist Isaac Deutscher revealed an astonishingly bitter, point-by-point indictment of Peking policy "just sent out from Khrushchev's offices in Moscow to the headquarters o-f several foreign Communist parties."

In this case, unfortunately, the essence is a dull epigram. "Love the world," Mann's hero cries, "and the world will love you." The statement expresses...
WEST GERMAN INFLATION will be eased by 25% tariff cut designed to spur import of low-cost foreign goods, trim West Germany's $4.95 billion gold and foreign-exchange reserves, which are mounting at rate of $1 billion a year. To tighten domestic money supply the Bank Deutscher Laender (the government's central bank) will also lend $100 million to World Bank at terms of from one to three years at 4¼% interest...
