...return for better relations between the two German states in the areas of unrestricted travel and improved postal, telephone and cable communications, Brandt would be willing to grant, within the next 18 months, de jure recognition to the German Democratic Republic in all international affairs. Even so, he insists that in relations between the two German states, Bonn would never consider East Germany a foreign country and that East Germans always would share a common citizenship with West Germans...
...Administration's ambiguous position. Nixon's Attorney General Mitchell told TIME Correspondent Dean Fischer last week that he feels moving on desegregation is a case of "you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't." He said he hoped that "all the de jure districts will be desegregated by September." The Administration's whole aim is "to get the schools desegregated, but to do it with the least possible disruption. That's hard to do in a highly charged atmosphere." This suggests that Nixon should use his effective new command of the television forum...
...Leon Panetta and Senator Abraham Ribicoff's blistering attack on Northern hypocrisy, the nature and precise scope of existing U.S. law on race and the schools have largely been obscured. At issue are two sets of vital distinctions: the difference between integration and desegregation, and that between de jure, or governmentally imposed, and de facto, or accidental residential segregation...

Thus in 1955 the Supreme Court ordered the Southern and Border states to proceed "with all deliberate speed...
...court's negative mandate to the South has been clear, and de jure segregation is now theoretically all but dead. Though unhappy about the court's demand for immediate action in the few remaining pockets of Southern resistance, President Nixon has announced that he will respect and enforce the law. Responsibility for enforcement rests with the Justice Department, which may bring suit to force compliance from recalcitrant school districts. Local authorities have taken their cue from the Chief Executive. Realizing that further resistance is fruitless, they have struck their Confederate colors and opened once all-white schools...
