...with other leaders on the Hill, both Republican and Democratic. This time he was working on a different phase of the same problem. If the French Parliament does not ratify EDC at its present session, due to end around Aug. 15, said Dulles, then the U.S. and Britain should grant limited sovereignty to West Germany (see FOREIGN NEWS). This would mean that the Senate and possibly the entire Congress would have to be called back into special session this fall to vote its approval. Would this be agreeable...
What if the French refused either to pass EDC or to grant West Germany its sovereignty? Germany, already divided between East and West, would be split into three: a technically sovereign Soviet satellite in the East, a free area in the U.S.-British zone, and a French-occupied area.

...July orator is proud to relate. But the oratory frequently overlooks the fact that another Glorious Fourth-July 4, 1863-marked the climax of the battle to preserve the Union. In the west on that day, after a six-week siege, Confederate Vicksburg fell to General Ulysses S. Grant. And in the east, General Robert E. Lee's forces began their sad retreat south across the Potomac after three days of the biggest and bloodiest battle U.S. history had known-Gettysburg...
