...EAST GERMANY is less accessible than any other of Eastern Europe's Communist countries, and less is known about it. But the Walled-in domain is in many ways a crucial area in a new Europe of growing East-West contacts. Thus TIME explores, in words and twelve pages of unusual color pictures, the half country that is politically retrograde but economically trying hard to progress. The story was written by David B. Tinnin and edited by Edward Jamieson. They drew on extensive on-the-scene accounts from Bonn Bureau Chief Herman Nickel, who had to wait three months...
...forge a nuclear non-proliferation pact, European concern was focused on the possibility that such a treaty could forever foreclose the Continent's option of becoming an equal thermonuclear power. Over those specific negotiations, with which Humphrey was immediately concerned, hung the intertwined questions of Viet Nam and East-West rapprochement.

Its attitudes, however bothersome they may occasionally be to the U.S., are a refreshing change from the search for reassurance that marked the West Germany of Ludwig Erhard. U.S. diplomats, in fact, are not unhappy at accepting a bit of independence and even some nose-tweaking...
...fairly be said that the Leipzig Trade Fair is an annual event-the one now in progress is the 802nd. But this year there is a new sound to the old show: while some 70 nations display their wares, Communists and capitalists alike are clamoring for increased East-West trade. Says Cristina Dimitriu, director of Rumania's exhibit: "We are now interested more in business than in propaganda." Says Poland's Natalia Czaplicka: "We will sell anything to anybody...
