Modest Yet Vigorous. Such measures would cost money-money that the Europeans, protected for nearly 20 years by the U.S. nuclear umbrella, have always been loath to spend. In his 16th and farewell appearance before the ministers, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk was as candid as Lemnitzer, telling the European partners that they must carry a greater share of the burden. Rusk and U.S. Defense Secretary Clark Clifford offered only an estimated $50 million in fresh U.S. aid. They also promised to return to Europe for maneuvers two infantry brigades and four tactical Air Force squadrons that had been...
...modest enough to show restraint, yet vigorous enough to demonstrate concern." Despite the new Soviet threat that, after all, touches Western Europeans most directly, the European response seemed more modest than vigorous. Italy agreed to a 7% budget increase, equal to an extra $140 million; West Germany promised to spend an additional $180 million and to bring its twelve divisions up to strength.

...half of this year as a result of a 37-week miners' strike. The threat of an August steel strike brought a 59% jump in iron and steel imports. Most of the blame for increased imports, however, can be placed on the seemingly insaliable U.S. consumer, who continues to spend despite increased taxes and the inflation-diminished dollar. Over the first nine months of this year, imports gained 31% in clothing, 32% in whisky (mainly Scotch), 49% for radios and television sets. Excluding duty-free trade with Canada, auto imports have soared by 70%, or $430 million. Chartener sums...
