Even if they died in crowded suffocation, they died one by one, as individuals, alone. But the figures of the protracted massacre?six of every nine Jews in Europe???were ungraspable. One grisly comparison: allowing 120 pounds to the Jew, the Nazis butchered 720,000,000 pounds of meat and bone, 13 times the daily slaughter of the Chicago stockyards...
...sides of the Atlantic came together to plan a global strategy unconstrained by the past. Assume further that it started from the premise that ultimately the defense of the West is indivisible and that European security should be viewed under the aspect of the defense of the West in Europe???as a thoughtful French observer, Francois de Rose, put it. Such a group would almost surely conclude that the sensible division of responsibilities would be for Europe, with economic resources and manpower exceeding those of the Soviet Union, to concentrate on the conventional defense of the Continent.

Our overall goal?all nuclear weapons out of Europe???will be a long process, but it can begin here." Says Volkmar Deile, secretary of Action for Reconciliation, one of West Germany's most influential peace groups: "Talking to the superpowers about disarmament is like talking to drug dealers about stopping drug deliveries...
