...Norwegian line. Then West Germany's tough-minded Chancellor Konrad Adenauer spoke up. Despite the fact that the Bulganin notes talked vaguely of a neutralized Germany -a prospect that is anathema to Adenauer-the West German Chancellor was no longer prepared to accept the U.S. lead in the matter of East-West negotiations. Said he: "I would see no objection to attempting to inquire through diplomatic channels from the Soviet government what precise conceptions form the basis of these proposals...
...Soviets had flatly rejected, argued that any new approach to the Russians should be made through the U.N. France's Foreign Minister Christian Pineau, adopting as his own what was originally a British suggestion, urged that, instead, the Soviets be invited to discuss the matter with the Foreign Ministers of the four Western nations on the U.N.

There's no gunplay by our heroes. No matter how hard they're pressed, they win by their wits." Neither is there any swearing. The Bobbsey twins used to say an occasional "Gosh" or "Golly." but when a reader protested that these were distant euphemisms for God ("And. by gosh." says Svenson in surprise, "she was right!"), "Gosh...
