...Strains? De Gaulle waited till this week to spell out his attitude toward the test ban at a press conference, but his Foreign Minister, Couve de Murville, had already declared that France would not consider itself bound by a treaty to which it was not a signatory, and that a test ban did not make much sense anyway, short of general and complete disarmament...
...Moscow meeting to succeed, insisted on it merely to embarrass the Soviets. The Kremlin, in turn, could not afford to appear intractable. At week's end the Peking press suggested that perhaps a few of the Sino-Soviet differences could be settled soon, while others could be deferred till later. This simply meant that the Chinese were ready to prolong the quarrel indefinitely. "If the differences cannot be resolved this year," said Peking blandly, "they can wait until next year."

Next day, the cops rushed a group standing on a porch, clubbed some Negroes, grabbed a white man, throttled him with a billy club, kicked and beat him till blood gushed from his wounds. A day later, Negro youngsters again moved down the street in ones and twos, carrying tiny American flags (it was Flag Day). They, too, were blocked by police, relieved of their flags, and carried off to a hog-wire compound...
