Nixon will be well briefed. He dined at the White House with NATO Secretary-General Manlio Brosio, and at week's end he started a laborious study "of "the book"-a black-bound 300-page volume prepared for him by the State Department and the National Security Council staff. It details his tentative schedule, suggests drafts for everything from airport statements to formal toasts, and sets forth factual background and policy recommendations for each of his meetings with European leaders...
When the ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization last met scarcely five months ago, it hardly seemed worth the trip to Iceland. As Secretary-General Manlio Brosio recalled before the ministers gathered last week in NATO's bleak new heaquarters outside Brussels: "Hopes for détente were so high that they tended to put in doubt the very necessity of a common alliance." That was not the mood in Brussels. In the interim between the semiannual sessions, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia had shattered all illusions of an imminent accommodation with the Russians.

...Vance's pleading, Demirel agreed to delay Turkish military measures until the U.S. envoy had an opportunity to sound out the Greek leaders. What Vance learned in Athens obviously pleased the Turks, who announced that they and the Greeks would accept the good office of Italy's Manlio Brosio, the NATO Secretary-General, as mediator in the dispute. It was a hopeful development, but by no means a permanent one. The situation remained so tense that a handful of men with submachine guns on Cyprus could wipe out the diplomatic achievements in a matter of seconds and plunge...
...question the allies for once were unanimous: to succeed Stikker they picked Manlio Brosio, 66, Italy's Ambassador to France. The new NATO Secretary-General is less well known than any of his predecessors, which suggests a downgrading of NATO's top job; but Brosio is respected as a skilled diplomatic technician, is liked and trusted by Charles de Gaulle...
Italy's Turn. The haggling with Tito over for the moment, the negotiators called in Italy's London Ambassador Manlio Brosio last week and advised him of the terms. He flew to Rome, nominally to attend his niece's wedding, but actually to inform Premier Mario Scelba's government, which has done its best to keep the subject quiet. Now it would be Italy's turn to negotiate, to redraw the map, and to bargain for advantages. This would take weeks, perhaps months. But progress was being made-and that was good news...
