Last week the Vice President was on the last lap of his most delicate journey yet-a two-week tour of major European capitals to reassure continental statesmen that, despite its preoccupation with Viet Nam, the U.S. has not forgotten its transatlantic allies. The allies had a number of thorny issues to discuss-from Washington's proposed nuclear non-proliferation treaty with...
