...blunt proposal to wipe out freedom's most exposed outpost in Europe set off a flurry of excited headlines. Western diplomats had been expecting some kind of trouble over Berlin. Four days before, at a press conference, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles had taken pains to be explicit: "We are most solemnly committed to hold West Berlin-if need be, by military force." London, Paris and Bonn were just as forthright. In West Berlin, citizens inured to crises went their rounds unflustered...
Though Tokyo's 600 aging geishas still keep up their traditional routine-the three daily sessions in the public baths, the facial massage with costly nightingale dung, the rubbing of the feet with pumice stone-their number is steadily dwindling. Promising nymphets now prefer to take on more explicit and less demanding jobs as cabaret girls; young men in search of kicks favor the nude shows that flourish all over town.

As for the Chinese Communists, there were indications that they. too. would not mind seeing the crisis discussed in the U.N.. where they could assert their claim to big-power status...
...minute homily to the chastened Münchners (dramatically cumbersome, but Strauss insisted he had written the opera only for the sake of that speech. Soon all Munich is busily engineering Kunrad's conquest and Diemut's capitulation-which occurs offstage but to almost pornophonically explicit music from the orchestra...
