...growing nervousness was detectable in the Western chancelleries. Molotov could probably not be held to a discussion only of Germany and Austria. He might convincingly talk of total atomic disarmament-and a ban on atomic weapons, without any other kind of disarmament, would, as SHAPE Commander Alfred M. Gruenther acknowledged this week, be to Russia's advantage. Molotov might suggest a truce in Indo-China, and thereupon demand that Red China be invited to Berlin. Whatever the details, the Communists made no secret of their main ambition at Berlin: to defeat the West's plan for a European...
...until June. His successor: Sir Donald MacGillivray, 47, a Scottish diplomat whose job it will be to consolidate the peace that Templer made possible by war.

Five more atomic battalions will follow within a year, giving General Alfred Gruenther and his SHAPE high command a weapon which might, if the circumstances were ideal, neutralize the huge numerical superiority of Russian ground forces...
Counterforces. To be sure, Gruenther added that "if ever there was a time for relaxation, this is not it." But Europeans are resigned to this kind of U.S. moralizing. Not even EDC's most ardent champions expect ratification before mid-1954. Three big counterforces...
