...limited era of good feeling between the cold war enemies will erode Western Europe's firmness against the Reds. Much of Western Europe's postwar order is based on anti-Communism as an article of faith: the conviction that the Communists are a treacherous, armed and somehow non-European enemy. That conviction began to falter with the changeover from Stalin, the "oriental despot," to Khrushchev, the table-thumping but jolly politician-and with the accompanying softening of Communist tyranny in Russia and the satellites. The test ban and what may follow will continue this process of persuading European...
...businessmen buying and selling in increasingly remote parts of the world, Berlitz now teaches 46 living languages from Afrikaans to Urdu. President Strumpen-Darrie (who gets by in half a dozen languages) and 48-year-old Vice President Charles Berlitz (15 languages fluently, another 15 passably) insist that non-European tongues are usually no tougher than European ones, and that almost anyone can gain a rough working knowledge after 30 hours of instruction and a good fluency (a 3,000-word vocabulary) after 120 hours.

...currency, and in the case of Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia accounts for 30% of their trade. The Reds fear that this trade will be sharply cut as the Six deal more among themselves and less with nonmembers across the tariff wall, and that Communist trade will be clobbered in non-European markets by competition from the Six. To visiting Italian Foreign Trade Minister Luigi Preti, Khrushchev complained last week that the partnership between capitalist countries "is a marriage against nature, and nature will see it broken. In this marriage, there are not two sexes, male and female, only two males...
