Fact of Geography. True, the West now holds these rights precariously. A solemn and public reafnrmation of these rights, as Khrushchev has invitingly pointed out. might well improve the West's position. The fact remains that no guarantee, no treaty, no Russian commitment however solemn, can change geography. Berlin would still remain deep behind the Iron Curtain, at the mercy of the Russians any time that they find an excuse to break their agreement. In any case, the West is not prepared to break out its full assortment of possible concessions unless Moscow is willing to broaden negotiations beyond...
Gromyko: Sophistry. Gromyko listened stonily to Kennedy-except for a thin smile at a Kennedy gibe comparing Khrushchev's wall building in Berlin to the Czar's orders in Pushkin's Boris Godunov. Next day, in his reply, Gromyko used a tone that was-by Russian standards-moderate, particularly on Berlin. But there was little in his words be yond a recital of well-known Soviet points: Russia will not accept a treaty to end nuclear tests, said Gromyko, for the whole matter should be tied in with (and, presumably, stalled by) the tangled question of overall...

In a speech that attacked the Vatican, called for disarmament and denounced colonialism, suety, brown-bearded Nikodemus spouted Khrushchev's line...
Practical Nuclear Politics. On the same paper, Columnist Max Lerner was lost in admiration of "the brilliance of Khrushchev's performance in the use of nuclear diplomacy." But Lerner was fearful just the same: "The still unanswered question is whether there is not a demon driving Khrushchev and world communism which will not stop because it cannot." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Marquis Childs wondered if the "world will survive," pinned his personal hopes on the U.S.'s new disarmament agency-a small-bore institution ($10,000,000 to work with) as yet unborn. Chronically gloomy...
