...eight of the "middlemen" at the conference (Brazil, Burma, Ethiopia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden and Egypt) were pressing both East and West to keep talking. With their usual moral myopia, several flatly condemned all further bomb tests. "Haven't you sufficiently contaminated, with your arms tests, the air we breathe, the milk we drink, the food we eat?" cried Egypt's Foreign Minister. Some "neutrals" had well-meaning but irrelevant proposals of their own to make: Ethiopia's Acting Foreign Minister Ke-tema Yifru pleaded that Africa be declared an "atom-free zone"; Sweden's Foreign...
...there are some kinds of underground and small atmospheric explosions that even this elaborate network cannot detect with certainty. Last autumn, observation posts in Sweden and France confused a small Russian test blast with the Soviets' long-awaited 58-megaton shot simply because it took place simultaneously with an earthquake in California. Recent underground tests in Nevada confirmed that earthquake confusion is possible unless seismographs are within a few hundred miles of the site.

At the same time, they fear...
Market members are in no mood to offer such concessions, have little sympathy for neutrality (although they draw a distinction between the neutrality of Austria, enforced by the 1955 peace treaty with Russia and the West, and the voluntary neutrality of Sweden and Switzerland). Common Market leaders feel that granting special concessions to the neutrals would be unfair to members who have made the full sacrifices demanded-and might tempt some member states to reduce their own market obligations in future. Another argument heard: Why grant association to the neutrals rather than to NATO partners such...
