In Bonn there was muttering about a tack of U.S. leadership, complaints that the wearily continuing talks between U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson and Russia's Andrei Gromyko in Moscow were doing a lot of harm; to a political meeting, Adenauer cracked that Thompson should not make a career of negotiating with the Russians.

Art and antique magazines, cardboard cartons and discarded papers littered the room. The scene of this disarray was not Ye Olde Antique Shoppe, but the paneled office of White House Curator Mrs. James N.
