...Ministers rejected the Kremlin's plan to make West Berlin a demilitarized "free city.'' The NATO ministers gave short shrift to neutralist disengagement schemes, held fast to the basic point that Germany must be reunited by free elections, with free choice on whether or not to join NATO. Said NATO's commanding general in Europe. Lauris Norstad: "There must be absolutely no misunderstanding about the determination of this alliance to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression."

Then comes a public consistory, at which old and new cardinals mingle and the Pope presents the galero-the round, flat red hat which is the traditional symbol of the cardinalate. Last of all is another secret...
...love a happy old man without looking toward 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Santa Claus does not worry about big spending and never has diplomatic problems. Besides all this, it's good to drink egg nog instead of gin punch, and very few people complain about your singing if you join in on carols...
