...State Department official whom I spoke to could not name one single way in which Ne Win had shown neutrality to balance all of the favors that he has shown to the Russians and the Chinese, save that he was coming to visit us.

...political weakness of Chancellor Erhard should not deter the administration from delivering the coup d'grace to the Multilateral Fleet, and other related plans for nuclear sharing, during the German leader's visit this week. Despite the criticism this move will arouse in Germany, the U.S. must make clear its unwillingness to give Germany control over nuclear weapons.

Winny constantly begged "Mummy and Papa" to visit him at school, but "Lord Randolph was a busy politician; Lady Randolph was caught up in the whirl of fashionable society." The biographer, who himself suffered from having a busy famous father, concludes that parental indifference forced Winston early "to stand on his own feet...
