...smaller Common Market nations, led by the Dutch, were even unhappier at the thought of losing their present small voice in NATO affairs to De Gaulle's proposed super-directorate. They were distressed by the weakening of the alliance implicit in De Gaulle's demand for replacement of integrated NATO military forces by independent national commands. On both scores, Washington agrees. Three weeks ago the U.S. quietly informed the NATO Council of its flat opposition to all De Gaulle's plans for "reforming the alliance...
...Russians, a humiliating byproduct of the U-2 spy plane incident was the implicit suggestion that foreign aircraft flying high enough could cruise over Soviet territory almost at will, as they had for nearly four years. U.S. experts doubt the Russian claim that the U-2 was blasted from the sky at 68.000 ft., suspect from U.S. radar evidence that Pilot Francis Powers' jet engine simply flamed out in midpassage.

There was the implicit assumption, however, that each Kennedy, freed of the necessity of earning a living, had a duty to make his life worthwhile. Says Rose: "Joe told the children that they had plenty of advantages, but that these advantages carry with them certain obligations." Like the English gentry of the 18th century...
