...Cooperation in Europe is the most recent in a 20-year series of cold war "thaws" and crises that he has covered. Arriving in Europe in 1955 at the time of the spirit of Geneva, the first of the elusive efforts at superpower détente, Rademaekers, who speaks fluent Hungarian, was soon covering the Soviet invasion of Hungary. Like other Western journalists in the late '50s he could not get visas for Eastern European countries. When the cold war eased in the mid-'60s he found visas often did not help much.

Then they fall apart in revealing stop-motion monologues as if a petal were trying to be a flower...
...crossing of the Rhine. Back home, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor, helped organize an anti-Joseph McCarthy drive called Operation Truth, and was defeated in a campaign for the Senate in 1952. But two years later, Reuss stumped Wisconsin's fifth district, making speeches in his fluent German, and was elected to his first term in Congress. His seat has never been in danger since...
