...United States, as the leader of the Western coalition, the present Soviet policy offers an almost insoluble paradox. If we withdraw our present objections to trade between the two camps of Europe, we face the unpleasant prospect of seeing our potential enemies materially strengthened. On the other hand, if we object to East-West trade which would obviously be beneficial to our allies, we will see even a further increase in European charges that the United States is meddluing in domestic politics that do not concern it; ultimately we might awaken to find that a once-strong alliance had crumbled...
...Technicalities. Through the third and fourth days. Ilyichev disbursed concessions like vodka toasts. By week's end, only a few technicalities stood between Austria's 7,000,000 and their freedom: when foreign troops should withdraw, what was to be the nature of the four-power Austrian neutrality guarantee demanded by Russia, and most embarrassing of all, what should be done about foreign oil rights in Austria.

Canada is now negotiating with other Commonwealth countries and with the U.S. to withdraw all Canadian forces from the Far East. A Black Watch battalion originally scheduled to replace the homecoming Queen's Own got last-minute orders not to embark. The informal explanation was that Canada's participation in the Korean theater would probably be ended before the contingent could cross...
...said sadly. "The world is not yet ready for it." As A-bomb led to H-bomb, and the atomic arms race began, he lent his prestige to almost any ban-the-bomb society that asked his sponsorship. Einstein's otherworldliness grew more pronounced. "The wish to withdraw into myself," he wrote, "increases with the years." But though his political forays were often Utopian, his scientific imagination still soared. He had unified the concepts of space and time, matter and energy, gravitation and inertia, yet two great cosmic forces, gravitation and electromagnetism, still defied his synthesis...
