Along with the agreement, the U.S., Britain and Russia issued a brief communique that contained a Kremlin concession of sorts. The Russians had sought a nonaggression pact between NATO and the Warsaw Pact powers that would, in effect, concede legality to the regime of East German Puppet Walter Ulbricht. Moscow had hinted that without simultaneous agreement on a nonaggression pact, it would not sign a test ban. But the Soviets settled for a promise by the U.S. and Britain to take up the issue with their NATO allies in an effort to find an acceptable formula. The communique also reported...
Andrzej Wajda's Polish section is a bit wooden and contrived, and the stark background of Warsaw is no setting for a young romance. The Italian sequence, by Renzo Rossellini, is predictably decadent, involving the passion of a kept man for a new, younger mistress...
...NONAGGRESSION PACT. Khrushchev declared that "at the conclusion of a test-ban agreement," he will revive Russia's hoary demand for a nonaggression pact between the 15 NATO powers and the satellite nations of the Warsaw Treaty.

...another thing. Beitz has sold a floating drydock to the Poles, a tire factory to the Hungarians, a chemical plant to the Russians. Largely because Beitz broke the ice with his smooth business and personal negotiations, Bonn this month will open a trade mission with embassy status in Warsaw, and negotiations are under way to open a similar mission in Hungary.

Beitz is neither a profits-at-any-price executive...
Angry Response. At the beginning of the war, writes Rumpf, bombing was carefully limited. Germany, it is true, stunned the world by bombing Warsaw and Rotterdam; but these raids were arguably part of a military attack. Hitler feared all-out air warfare because he lacked an effective long-range bomber. When Germany launched its great offensive through the Low Countries in 1940, Britain was the first to start bombing industrial targets. Not until five months after the first British raid, writes Rumpf, did Germany retaliate with the blitz of Britain...
