...these reasons we are planning as a cooperative venture of the Great Lakes Colleges Association a summer institute for 1968 at Kenyon College devoted to the study of the German Democratic Republic and aimed at an objective assessment of what has been termed "the German problem."-Since we have found it simple to travel in East Germany, the institute program will entail a four-week study tour there...
...supplied from neighboring Red-ruled countries. Greeks voted 2 to 1 in a plebiscite to call back George II from his wartime exile in London and to restore his throne.

From Cologne, Adenauer's body was to be taken by a German navy patrol boat...
Kiesinger believes that reunification will come about only after a European detente and not as a first step toward such a detente, as Adenauer and Erhard had maintained. Nor is the government totally opposed to the idea of recognizing the East German regime. Herbert Wether, one of the top leaders of the SPD and Kiesinger's Minister for All German Affairs, has already gone on record as favoring recognition, if such a step could bring about an easing of present restrictions. There is a totally new spirit in Bonn today which Mr. Rosberg has failed to depict. Gebhard Schweigler...
