...shotgun marriage" imposed by the Soviet threat. Adenauer himself has never forgotten that British occupation authorities fired him as mayor of Cologne in 1945 for "insufficient display of energy." And when Harold Macmillan failed to consult him before setting off to Moscow last month, all Adenauer's suppressed distrust of Britain was reawakened. Bitterly, Adenauer concluded that Macmillan was preparing to offer Khrushchev de facto recognition of Communist East Germany, thereby selling out a vital West German diplomatic position without even asking how Bonn felt about...
Dream & Reality. In Algiers, newspapers of the diehard European settlers violently expressed their "distrust" of the man their riots had helped bring to power. Disheartening as De Gaulle's long view might seem to many of his countrymen, nothing else seemed to promise quicker relief. Last week Morocco's King Mohammed V, increasingly weary of the effect of the Algerian war on his own country, was angling for a visit with De Gaulle (who said fine), reportedly hoped to convince De Gaulle that autonomy within the French Community would be the best solution for Algeria...
...students. At Harvard, this technique involves an ever-increasing awareness of subjectivity in approaching academic problems. This is paralleled and reinforced by the Eastern tendency to evaluate people in psychological and economic terms, with less emphasis on appearance and immediate impressions.

When he found Macmillan consistently taking the line that the West was unshakably united in the determination to hold its position...
Composer Igor Stravinsky has a fierce distrust of most conductors, especially those who try to conduct his own works. But last week Stravinsky, 76, sat in the balcony of Manhattan's Town Hall and watched benignly while a slim, intense man mounted the podium and launched the first U.S. performance of Stravinsky's most recent score-Threni: Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah. The conductor: Stravinsky's protégé Robert Craft, at 35 one of the world's leading interpreters of avant-garde music...
