...week's end Khrushchev let out the word that the Russians would like to discuss things around a round table. There or elsewhere the West would get its chance to talk "new solutions." Best guideline: stick to the policy that has already been strikingly successful by 1) prodding the Russians once more to reunification of Germany by free elections, with free choice whether or not to join NATO; 2) insisting that they keep their pledged word on the World War II agreements, which set up Berlin under four-power auspices and turned the city into a striking outpost...
...pretty rough'' to keep 1960 spending at the fiscal-1959 level. But when asked whether 1960's total would be $2 billion higher than 1959's, he recoiled: "Oh, no." How about $1 billion higher?

When Corinth does a watercolor like The Beautiful Imperia, a loose wash of lucid color, he arrives at a quality which most of his Teutonic contemporaries generally lack--a naive loveliness, (the word used wholly in complimentary fashion.). The same goes for Susanna and the Elders or Imperial Palace. But when he draws, or tries to draw, his linear Knight, the result is nothing short of inexcusable...
