...army is in no shape to invade Western Europe. As a result, the French are in even less of a hurry today than they were six months ago to agree to a European army and West German rearmament. The West Germans, too, are less inclined to accept Konrad Adenauer's stern insistence that they must join arms with the West before they can think of negotiating with the Russians for a unified Germany. Chancellor Adenauer faces the toughest election of his life in September. Before then, the Western powers have anxious and firm decisions to make...
Benjamin Harrison was in the White House; in Paris, Professor Louis Pasteur was working out his theories on bacteria; and in Würzburg, Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen was on the threshold of discovering the X ray, with scarcely a glimmering of the wonderful and terrible world of radioactivity that lay beyond. At Washington's Smithsonian Institution, itself only 46 years old, a 23-year-old instrument maker named Andrew Kramer applied for a job. Secretary Samuel P.

Last week, following yet another war, West Germany's Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and U.S. High Commissioner James Bryant Conant sat across a mahogany table in the federal chancellery and scrawled their names. Thereby they agreed to revive the 30-year-old pact and get back toward diplomatic business as usual. Once more the Times hailed it as a "move of the U.S. and West...
