...unprecedented overture, Gomulka has held out the promise of better relations with West Germany in return for Bonn's acceptance of the present Oder-Neisse line as Germany's permanent eastern border. Ulbricht is understandably outraged, since he argues that his German state alone has the right to negotiate about German boundaries in the East. Ulbricht undoubtedly fears that the Poles may be willing to sell him out in order to seek trade and an easing of tensions with the larger, more prosperous half of Germany...
...Hasty Return. The Muong Soui setback, combined with smaller Communist strikes at other government outposts, caused a crisis in Vientiane, 110 miles to the south.

...Right Price. There was more, of course. He had a fine sense of the exact price to put on a new securities issue, just enough to tempt investors to buy. In the 1930s, when company boards usually did little but give ceremonious approval to management decisions, he popularized the role of the working director-demanding that management circulate agendas for board meetings and supply directors with figures to study in advance. In his career, he sat on the boards of more than 30 companies, including Ford, Sears, Goodrich, General Electric and General Foods...
