...Ludwig Erhard. Coming on top of his offhand treatment of Walter Ulbricht's East Germany (the long-promised separate peace treaty has yet to be signed), this caused the suspicion that Khrushchev might want to make some sort of deal with West Germany, a country regularly denounced as neo-fascist by Moscow propaganda...
...15th anniversary celebration of the G.D.R. turned out to be a Grade B production: the visiting Communist dignitaries were all second-stringers. Except for the first public showing of four Soviet medium-range missiles, the five-hour parade in East Berlin's Marx-Engels Square was a dreary, neo-Nazi affair of goose-stepping soldiers and sullen workers, clearly more interested in their weary feet than in the oversized pictures of Communist leaders that they dutifully bore past the reviewing stand...

The delegates quickly ducked that idea, but also resisted the more incendiary language of Sukarno & Co. The conference painfully put together a sweeping final communiqué damning "neo-imperialism," predictably citing South Africa and Angola, but preposterously including even Puerto Rico. The U.S. was told to get out of Guantanamo, Britain out of Aden, France off Martinique, Israel out of Palestine...

Most Maltese, however, fear independence for just the opposite reason, since the military bases supplied one-third of all income, employed one-sixth of the labor force - and have given Malta a living standard far beyond its means. With the missile age eroding the strategic value of Malta's midMediterranean location, they fear that independence can only hasten the process of decay...
