...counter to all this, Andrei Gromyko, who has shown a tireless talent for saying the same thing in the same way, offered some apparent concessions of his own. The West, he conceded, does have the victor's right to maintain occupation forces in Berlin, and the Soviet price for a Berlin settlement no longer requires Western recognition of Communist East Germany.

But already everyone was looking for an agreeable way to break off the Geneva talks in a week or two, and the chief interest now centered on a search for an interim agreement committing all Big Four powers to maintain something like the status quo in Berlin. The Russians, who wanted something to show for backing off farther from Khrushchev's Berlin ultimatum (which expired uneventfully on the day of Dulles' funeral), were haggling for token concessions from the West. Sample: a promise from the West to diminish...
