A new pattern of NATO armaments cooperation may be set by companies now seeking the contract for the $300 million NADGE (for NATO air defense ground environment) system, an electronic "fence" to be strung from Norway to Turkey. There are no jealous national bidders for the job-only international consortiums...

As a result, government ministries are strung miles apart in makeshift, inadequate buildings that range from a pre-empted hotel, where each office has a private bath, to a converted Wehrmacht barracks. Embassies are scattered from Cologne, 18 miles north of Bonn, to Rolandseck, ten miles south in the neighboring state of Rhineland Palatinate, where the Russians have taken over an old resort hotel. Chilean diplomats must work above the din of a five-and-dime store on the floor be low; the small, ugly British chancellery is smack in the middle of a cornfield, across the street from...
