...RAPACKI PLAN. For more than a year, Poland's Foreign Minister has been plumping for creation of a "denuclearized" zone to consist of Poland, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany. In its present version-revised, according to Rapacki, to "meet Western objections"-the Rapacki Plan would begin by banning production of nuclear weapons in these four countries and restricting atomic armaments in the area to such forces as already have them, to wit, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. The next step-complete denuclearization of the area-would take place only after agreement was reached on "appropriate reduction of conventional forces...
...GAITSKELL PLAN. More ambitious than Rapacki, British Labor Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell calls for the reunification of Germany by free elections and the evacuation of Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary by all foreign troops. To take his buffer zone completely out of the cold war, Gaitskell would have West Germany leave NATO and East Germany leave the Warsaw Pact; the frontiers of all the buffer zone nations would then be guaranteed by Britain, France, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R...
...KENNAN PLAN. With sweeping simplicity, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia George Kennan a year ago suggested that in return for complete withdrawal of Soviet forces from Eastern Europe, all U.S. troops should leave Continental Europe. Like Gaitskell, Kennan is willing to accept German neutrality as the price of German reunification...
Apart from the Eden Plan, no one has yet suggested a disengagement proposal that would not gravely endanger the military security of the Western nations. Communist Rapacki's projected nuclear freeze would seriously weaken NATO's ability to defend itself against Russia's vastly larger conventional forces, and would constitute a major victory for Moscow. Any plan that entails German withdrawal from NATO would probably lead to complete U.S. military withdrawal from Europe, since no Western European country save West Germany can be expected to play host to more than 175,000 U.S. soldiers...
...weigh heavily in determining admission to medical school, but a student's choice of major-assuming he has met minimum science requirements-has no bearing. Writes Author Dean K. Whitla, director of Harvard's office of tests: "It would be regrettable if some of our students who plan to become doctors felt that they must turn away from their interest in the liberal arts for fear of being rejected at medical school without a premedical major." Surprise of the study: at Harvard Medical School, premed-prepared students do better the first year, but by the third year they...
