Last week, in conferences with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, President Johnson discussed the NATO problem at length. McNamara also held long consultations in Washington with West Germany's visiting Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassel; U.S. Under Secretary of State George Ball was in Europe trying to sell the idea of a multilateral nuclear force (MLF), and former German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer injected himself back into the discussions with a visit to Charles de Gaulle to "try to clarify existing difficulties between France and Germany...
...years, since Chiang Kai-shek's tragic defeat, the U.S. has not exactly tried to ignore Red China-certainly the Korean war bitterly acknowledged its existence-but to ostracize and isolate it. Perhaps there was no real alternative, but the fact is that this attitude is getting to be increasingly difficult to sustain. China today is by far the most serious, urgent foreign-policy problem facing the U.S. Its presence looms over all Asia.

...demanding and usually getting kegs of free beer from the celebrities they spot in ringside seats below them. If no beer is forthcoming, the haylofters boo their target unmercifully, indulging in a "cult of disrespectfulness" that is half the fun of the Six Days. When West German Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassel appeared one night, he was roundly booed. But when he donned a crash helmet and bravely mounted a racing bike, the crowd went wild...
