...Cold North Wind. The fact was, as the Daily Telegraph suggested, that there had been no essential change in the man whom Britain's left-wing Cartoonist David Low once labeled "Old Inflexible." The change that Europeans saw in him was more correctly a change in themselves. At the time of the Paris conference, European public opinion demanded a summit meeting-at least half-convinced that the Russians sincerely wanted a general settlement. But in the weeks preceding Copenhagen, the Russians 1) stalled over the ground rules for summit talks, 2) announced that they no longer felt bound...
