...prove precarious from a practical standpoint because the Free Democrats are a schizophrenic party. It was formed in 1948, composed largely of business and professional men who found the C.D.U. too "black" or Catholic and the S.P.D. too "red" or socialistic. At first the F.D.P. was dominated by a right wing of nay-sayers?businessmen who thought there was too much welfare spending, Protestants wary of the C.D.U.'s heavy Catholic influence, nationalists who felt Bonn was too pro-American.

Then again, the report notes, "we live in a village world," where concern with problems at home and abroad is becoming "a political and social imperative." Strongest of all is the pragmatic argument that aid-fostered development will help increase...
...because of his talent as a writer or his human qualities." Young Hemingway, whose motto is "to shoot, to write, and to tell the truth," was taken hunting by his hosts, and missed a long shot at a big elk. But the Russians found Patrick's literary tastes right on target. Though he reads and enjoys his father's works (his favorites: Green Hills of Africa and The Snows of Kilimanjaro), he confessed that his favorite writer is Turgenev...
