Silent Chancellor. All the while, 81-year-old Chancellor Konrad Adenauer sat stonily in a front row. After all, he himself has recently been pulling away from the Americans. His lieutenants are distressed by Adenauer's recent electioneering demands for a ban on the H-bomb and a closer look at the Soviet promise to pull troops out of Central Europe. But none dared tell der Alte so to his face. Irritated by their timid, roundabout hinting, Adenauer refused to have anything to do with their debate...
Even before the Socialists had finished their day. Konrad Adenauer walked out of the Bundestag in disgust. But the Socialists, whose airy collective-security plan copied his own proposals to the Russians of last September, had fashioned a middle-of-the-road position close to der Alte...
...against Communism. Over four years, Dulles' instincts in this big battle have been unerring. He resisted arguments from both friends and enemies that the U.S. should coexist happily with Stalin's Russia.

An absurd expatriate from North Carolina named Captain Blunt shot and wounded Conrad in a duel over...
...returned to Stuttgart with the excited air of a Columbus. "The Americans really are democrats," he bubbled. He was through sniping at Adenauer. "Der Alte will do all right," he said. "But what will come after? We must call to our U.S. friends: 'Stop seeing in Konrad Adenauer the only reliable democrat in Germany.' " Last week he sang his new song to the Free Democrats at Stuttgart: "A difference of opinion, be it ever so pronounced, must end. NATO is the steel rail that binds Germany to the military might of the U.S." But he also urged Germany...
