...political separation, since Germany has been a nation for only 75 years in her long lifetime, but rather the pain of a sharp cultural rupture. "There we are," Leonhardt concludes, "saddled again with a mission and not at all sure which one. Bulwark against the east? Bulwark against Leipzig and Dresden [both East German cities]? If it were a question of industry, thoroughness, organizing talent, we would have nothing to fear. But I am afraid the world is going to ask of us just what we have least of: the imagination to understand somebody else's point of view...

Just as delegates to the Communist-front World Federation of Trade Unions had unpacked their bags in Leipzig for a skull session on the challenge of the thriving Common Market, they got word from Moscow to start packing again. Khrushchev hates and fears the Common Market and demands that other Communist parties take a tough line too. But Poland, which conducts 20% of its trade with the Six and Great Britain, takes a moderate stand; Italian and Belgian Communists, whose working-class members share in the prosperous capitalist economic community, have already...
