Unfortunately, Stassen has very few concrete proposals to counter the "sit-tight" attitude of his chief antagonist. The President, himself, is looking for something as spectacular as his "open-skies" or atoms-for-peace plans with which to counter Premier Bulganin's pre-NATO-Conference call for a summit meeting. Unless Stassen can come up with a suitably electrifying proposal, he will find it well-nigh impossible to break through the Administration's massive complacency...
...basis for agreement at the moment is a pact to halt nuclear tests. Whether such action be taken in the expanded United Nations Disarmament Commission, at a foreign ministers' meeting, or at the summit, it would represent the best antidote to the present tension. Although AEC Chairman Strauss has kept up a constant campaign in favor of the tests, his stand can be overruled and he may well be out of a job in June.

Briskly following up that lead, Japan's Professor Kaoru Yasui warned that the aim of Britain and the U.S. was "to explode atom and hydrogen bombs over the heads of the colored race...
...World Reputation. At 22, Maria made tracks for Vienna and the famous Burgtheater. the sum and summit of the German theatrical tradition. She never quite made it. A film director named Karl Hartl met her in a cafe, felt the burn of her blowtorch intensity, and offered her on the spot the lead in the picture he was casting. She took the job, and pretty soon any number of Herzen, as the romantic rumors had it, were beating in Dreivierteltakt. She was simultaneously supposed to be in love with Producer Ernst Lothar, with a cameraman named Günther Anders...
