...only a short stroll across what used to be the family vegetable garden to the new museum. Ike spent an hour looking at the mementos of his own life (everything from a TIME cover portrait to war souvenirs). Pausing before a jeweled dagger given him by Russian Marshal Zhukov, he remarked that it had been a "very great personal honor; when a marshal takes off his ceremonial dagger and gives it to you, that's something."

The French Assembly would not tolerate any economic isolation of the Saar from France, Mendès said bluntly, or agree to its political union with Germany. It must remain "European-ized," even if there was no longer any European community to which to attach it. Adenauer was reluctant to renounce all claim to the Saar as German territory. Mendès conceded that any agreement reached would...
