...best of our young people are deeply disturbed by much that they see: the cynical conduct of our foreign affairs, the gap between civil rights legislation and reality, the spreading cancer of gross materialism and dehumanization in a shrinking world in which millions are starving, and a grade system perverted to act as a threat to those who stand in the shadow of the draft board...

Whereas he was willing to negotiate before on an informal basis, Ulbricht now refuses to talk unless the West Germans decide to give official recognition to his regime-and, in the process, accept the principle that Germany must remain divided.

When the pent-up market finally makes itself felt, the resulting housing rebound could well pump new steam into the whole U.S. economy...
