...First Step. Shaken by Eisenhower's most recent illness, worried by signs of uncertainty and discord among the members, doomsayers were already talking glumly of Paris as a great opportunity lost. In fact, the 15 chiefs of government who will gather round the table in NATO's conference hall next week are most unlikely to create any new political institutions that would set NATO on the road to supranational power. But the summit conference will almost certainly produce a pledge of closer political collaboration; if meticulously honored, it could create a state of mind that would rule...

Last week the conflict was audible in Jerusalem...
Last March, when Nigeria's Federal House of Representatives voted to seek independence, Abubakar Balewa, the Northerner, warned his countrymen against the results of such feckless politicking. "We must do all in our power," he said, "to protect our country from the civil discord and strife into which some countries-and here I am thinking of Indonesia-have fallen after achieving independence." The Colonial Office, in its anxiety to see that the transfer of power is peaceful, has an even more unhappy comparison in mind: that of India and Pakistan, whose baptism of freedom took place in a bath...
