...boiled down to nothing. To prove it, the Kremlin at week's end put out a 21-page draft treaty proposing that 30 nations should get together to sign a German peace treaty based in part upon 1) withdrawal of Western Germany from NATO and Communist East Germany from the Warsaw Pact; 2) early withdrawal of all foreign troops-a plan that differed not much from a Russian plan that the U.S. had rejected as outrageous almost five years before.

...chasm that split Gamal Abdel Nasser from the West more than two years ago in the Anglo-French invasion of Suez was papered over by money last week.

Thanks to its freedom from official pressures, the commission does not have to worry about diplomatic niceties. No lawyers from Spain, Portugal...
