...Berlin crisis. Prime Minister Macmillan indicated in answer to a Commons question that Britain was already corresponding with Russia, would be willing to discuss Berlin if Russia is reasonable. There were signs that the strong U.S. stance, though it might have made its allies a bit nervous had impressed Khrushchev. Pravda last week asserted, in the wake of the Allied notes, that Russia "was and is ready for talks both on the German question and all other outstanding issues...
