When the cocktail hour approached. Dulles joined his staff with a rye-on-the-rocks. At dinner conversation was light, with no shoptalk allowed. Afterwards, Foster Dulles got back to work, scanning radiograms, planning details of his Bonn and London discussions. By 9 p.m. he was snugly bedded down in his blacked-out cabin at the rear of the plane. Beside him, as always, were his yellow tablet and pencil, ready for midnight thoughts. Usually, Dulles reads himself to sleep with whodunits, but on the way to Europe he had no need for a soporific...

...soft greys and greens of sand dune, marsh and meadow blend imperceptibly with the pale blues of the sky's rim, along an endlessly level horizon. Ornate old cities, which have known and outgrown greatness, nurse their memories amid a neat patchwork of fields where golden wheat and rye shimmer at each passing breeze. Turning idly in the same soft breeze, the sails of windmills urge the sluggish water along a network of canals which are the province's vital arteries, moving its traffic, draining and feeding its rich black soil...
