...repaired the disarray left by Hallstein's pitched battles with De Gaulle, showing that he is willing to compromise with the French without kowtowing to them. Through it all, with a judicious mixture of courage and pragmatism, he has revivified the Common Market as the independent, outward-looking organization its creators intended it to be. This week, to De Gaulle's considerable consternation, Rey flies to Washington to discuss closer cooperation between the Common Market...
...most outward respects, Norman Podhoretz, the 38-year-old literary critic, social commentator and editor of the highbrow monthly Commentary, fits a familiar pattern. Brainy son of Jewish European immigrants, his ambition fired by memories of a boyhood spent in the Brooklyn slums, he worked his way up from smartest kid in the class to a position of influence and prestige in New York intellectual circles...
...other characters say several times: "There's something about the girl." All the rest is left to the actress who plays Joan.

For all its outward appearance, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht's New Wall is even less passable-even, in fact, less plausible-than the crude barrier that first shocked the world six years ago. Ulbricht's new design (see diagram) has been conceived with chilling efficiency; to test it, the East Germans erected a prototype at an army camp, rounded up some of the country's best athletes and let them try to cross the barriers without interference. None could makeit. Ulbricht has already completed nearly a third...
