...Russians play the game for the propaganda value, i.e., one picture of a grinning Frol Kozlov toasting a grinning Dwight Eisenhower cannot help taking the heart out of would-be satellite rebels. Moreover, the Russians want credits and trade to build up their industrial strength. And while they talk peace, they make it clear in closed-door sessions that peace means a world where there is no opposition to their threats and bullying...
...neared, there was a sudden realization by the Saarlanders that they would lose many of the social benefits they had enjoyed under the French welfare state. Though it could be argued that lower German prices would help compensate them, some wage earners muttered that their much-prized German nationality may cost them as much as 20% of their pay after taxes. Such complaints led some West German newspapers, in commenting on the "Little Reunification" with the Saar, to ask soberly whether 17 million East Germans might one day be similarly reluctant to give up Communist welfare privileges for a free...
...With the help of the conservative General Zionists, B-G carried his vote 57 to 45. But the two leftist parties in his coalition voted against the motion.

The U.S. is supporting road-building projects, developing civil aviation, and setting up a radio communication net to bring Katmandu into verbal contact with the rest...
...holocaust that followed, help came quickly and heroically from U.S. servicemen. A marine rushed through a solid wall of flame to rescue a little girl. Others made a firebreak to contain the flames. A thousand servicemen swarmed to the scene, clawed through hot rubble with their bare hands. Twenty-five helicopters shuttled the injured to hospitals. A jet plane flew in from Japan with 35,000 units of tetanus serum to combat infection. Claims commissioners, given orders to "cut all red tape," quickly went to work compensating families for destroyed property. Shelter was found for the homeless. But, despite...
