...voluntarily and because of their beliefs in the possibilities with some kind of grounds for such a belief that real measures can be discussed profitably by all of us." He stressed that a foreign ministers' meeting must first show "progress"-but he was notably vague about what "progress" meant. Back home in Britain, Macmillan simply told the House of Commons: "As regards the likelihood of a summit meeting, I would say everybody seems to think there will...
...sized Denmark's Premier and Foreign Minister, H. C. (for Hans Christian) Hansen, to vast Brazil's powerful, unbending War Minister and possible presidential candidate, Henrique Teixeira Lott.

Perhaps some of their ornaments are meant to symbolize their incipient conversion from tormentors to believers. For instance, one of the upper figures wears a sheepdog's collar and carries a peasant's staff-signs of protection for the flock. And the old man's leer may be hateful or tearful, but his gentle hand reaches for Christ's in a gesture of sympathy. The ironclad warrior, who is about...
