Glistening with Blood. Every window in the embassy burst inward. Jagged glass bits blasted like a blizzard of razor blades through every office. The ground floor was turned into a knee-deep mass of rubble. Parked cars spun into the air and landed in twisted heaps. A crowded Chinese restaurant across the street collapsed in smoke and flames, its floor strewn with still bodies and flopping forms of the wounded. Dozens of pedestrians in a nearby shopping district were flattened by the blast. Where the car had been, there was only a smoking pit, two feet deep. Three charred bodies...
...Weapons. The company is now looking inward as well as Eastward. Krupp last year reorganized its research establishment, increasing its staff to 1,500, and put automation and nuclear research at the top of the priority list. It is building trucks and air transports for the new German army-though it still produces no weapons. There are suggestions that Krupp may change its corporate form.

Fighting hard to prevent this, RCA has sent a mobile color TV studio rolling into Britain, Finland, Sweden, France, Germany and Russia. Whatever Europe does about color television will apparently owe as much to cold war politics as to technology...
...said, America's enemies always underestimate the power of that faith. Despite this reference to "enemies," and despite a condemnation of isolationism old and new-for, said Johnson, the American covenant requires the expenditure of lives and treasure "in countries we barely know"-it was an inward-looking speech, echoing domestic hopes and concerns. "In a land rich in harvest, children just must not go hungry," said the President. "In a land of healing miracles, neighbors must not suffer and die unattended. In a great land of learning and scholars, young people must be taught to read and write...
...their exports to one another have doubled. France has done much better than the average; its exports to the Market countries have nearly tripled, to $3.1 billion. If France is too protectionist to want any meaningful tariff cuts, it nonetheless could turn the market into a narrow, inward-looking organization. And if it persists in its demand for a lengthy exception list, it may well bog down the Kennedy Round for many more months...
