...that there were other ways of arriving at reunification. Macmillan view: since Khrushchev will never agree to "immediate free elections," there is no sense in talking about them in connection with Berlin, as the U.S. insists. British spokesmen last week said that Macmillan had persuaded West Germany's Konrad Adenauer that reunification should be dropped down on the list of Western priorities. Tentative outcome of the Eisenhower-Macmillan talks: the U.S. may not insist on "immediate free elections," even while requiring some sort of yet-to-be-defined "free expression" by all the Germans as to their political future...

In the Black Forest resort where he was taking the health cure (TIME, March 9), Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard was confronted by laundry hampers full of mail. Thousands of letters and telegrams from small businessmen...
