Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who had unduly alarmed West Berliners with legalistic press-conference talk about dealing with East German puppet Communists as "agents" of the U.S.S.R. in "perfunctory, routine matters," backed a strong statement that the U.S. was "solemnly committed'' to West Berlin's defense, would never abandon "the people of West Berlin to hostile domination." Vice President Nixon, visiting Britain (see The Vice-Presidency), proclaimed that "we already have two Germanys-Khrushchev would give us three," and sent a message to West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt: "I, as well...

But this is only a half-way solution. The teacher in the lower level course will then work as hard as he can to get his promotion but the fact may also be that if he gets the promotion, he can get out of teaching the elementary course and enter a more challenging field. The problem then remains--how to keep...
