MEMOIRS 1945-53, by Konrad Adenauer. In the first of two autobiographical installments, der Alte reviews the years from World War II to the Administration of Harry Truman, for whom Adenauer had deep respect...
Almost instinctively, Lyndon Johnson reacts to such criticism by trying to build a consensus based on generalities and truisms. The world is evolving toward a single community, he said last week, "in which nations respect the rights of other nations and live at peace with one another."
