...undercut the Western position still further came unmistakable signals from Britain that, to Tories and Socialists alike, the Geneva stalemate simply made a summit conference more urgent than ever. Said Prime Minister Harold Macmillan: "We cannot abandon the people of West Berlin ... On the other hand, we have to be reasonable and try to work out new arrangements . . ." At a miners' rally in Wales before a crowd of 50,000, mercurial Aneurin Bevan, the man who would be Britain's Foreign Secretary if Labor should win the next election, cast responsibility to the winds.

...merger will be the second in the last five years, during which the bank's deposits have more than doubled. Kentucky-born Harold Helm went to work for the 135-year-old Chemical Bank in 1920 straight from Princeton, was made assistant cashier six years later at 25, one of the youngest men in the company's history in that job. Coolly efficient and able to turn on charm to convince a client or win over a potential ally. Helm became vice president in 1929, first vice president in 1946, president in 1947, finally took over as chairman...
