...sure, short of a major reversal, the Soviet Union would derisively reject any such proposals. But the reason is not that they would fail to contribute to stability. Rather it is that the Soviet Union is reluctant" (sic) "to give up its East German puppet, its springboard for wrecking NATO and for the eventual domination of all of Germany. The melancholy fact may be that in their present state of mind the Soviet leaders are interested only in those agreements in Europe which contribute to instability...
...before he started, but plowed doggedly on. Brandishing a magazine showing Hammarskjold and Katanga's Belgium-backed Moise Tshombe together in the same photo (taken as Hammarskjold led the first U.N. troops into Katanga last August), Zorin suggested that it proved that Dag was "allied" with "a Belgian puppet"; this brought weary grins from everyone at the horseshoe table, including Hammarskjold.

The mark of Robertson's shot is the hiss of the net as the ball falls cleanly through...
...first novel (which won the $10,000 Harper Prize for 1961) that are not total losses. In Satry's brother Alonso. Author Lobsenz fashions a Don Quixote-cum-Candide whose pratfalls over the purity of his own logic attain a kind of tragic hilarity. Alonso is the puppet of his fate and a prototype of all the fanatically idealistic students who march and die in the streets...
