From Yemen and El Salvador, Iceland and New Zealand, some 260 delegates journeyed to do homage to an organization that has power to subpoena none. They represented a total of 1.5 billion people. There, in the flesh, were black men, brown men and white, Communist and capitalist, Moslem and Confucian, atheist and Christian, vegetarian and carnivore.

...four-year fight to add 500,000 young Germans to the Western defense is still not won. So far, only three of 14 NATO Parliaments (Britain, Norway and Iceland) have completed ratification. Italy's Lower Chamber ratified last month, and Senate approval is assured; the Bundestag has accepted in principle, and Chancellor Adenauer expects to get its final vote in February.
