Small but Practical. The chief proposal before the subcommittee when the talks began was a sweeping Anglo-French plan that called for disarmament in three easy stages...
...Delegate Harold Stassen and his government the Anglo-French scheme appeared to overlook the fact that it would be far more useful to start even a limited measure of actual disarmament than to get general agreement on a Utopian overall blueprint. Emphasizing this, Stassen a fortnight ago proposed that the subcommittee agree at once on a series of small but eminently practical "confidence-building" steps toward disarmament, including the opening by both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. of experimental disarmament inspection zones (TIME, April 2). Last week he made another specific proposal: international control centers to which all major powers would...
...proposals were far less ambitious than the main business before the conference-an Anglo-French general disarmament plan intended to lead in three slow stages from what the British call "the grey world of today" to a "white" world of mutual trust, in which all nuclear weapons would be banned.

The odds against even the U.S. proposals were high, for, as one conferee noted, if the Russians agreed to let foreign observers nose around the U.S.S.R., it would...

This theme has more or less dominated a spate of recent novels, notably The Exchange of Joy (set in Italy), The Capri Letters (Italy), A Slimmer Night (Italy) and The Sea and the Stone (Greece). In The Dark Glasses the atmospheric catalyst is the Greek resort island of Corfu, and the inhibited patient is a 39-year-old crew-cut Englishman named Patrick Orde whose eleven-year marriage to a Greek woman is not so much...
