...cold war's issues fit together like a child's toy nest of boxes. Berlin, at the center, sits inside the larger German question, which sits inside the European security question, which sits inside the container that might enfold them all-disarmament. For the last month U.S., British and Soviet officials have been struggling with the biggest container of all at the Geneva conference on suspending nuclear tests...
...Gaulle's own heart. After the French collapse in World War II, Airman Challe distinguished himself in the resistance by personally leading and executing "most delicate and dangerous" missions. He is credited with having obtained for the Eisenhower headquarters before D-day the order of battle of the German Luftwaffe, the placement of flak installations and of the main dispositions of the German army.

It is Author Fuller's contention that Gilbert, as Air Movements Officer of S.O.E., passed pertinent documents to the Gestapo headquarters before sending them by courier to London. In return, Gilbert obtained a German promise never to shoot down or capture any aircraft landing at fields he controlled. Gilbert was later brought to London "under suspicion...
