...austere, lonely dedication, Kurt Schumacher manipulates a party and directs a force that will last after his own broken body and strong will give out. To the men who know and work for him, he is neither the dangerous rabble-rouser nor neo-nationalist he seems, but a savior of Germany. They excuse his violent speeches. Often, they say, he will descend from a rostrum shaking his head and murmuring, "Well, I believe that I was again somewhat too sharp." His byword, they insist, is not nein, but ja, aber so nicht-which means "yes, but not this way." Schumacher...
...idea that the Germans are going to defend the democratic West, to sacrifice themselves for us, would be a deadly delusion," Shirer stated. He noted the alarming rise of neo-Nazi sentiment in Germany and declared that recent Russian proposals are more than a propaganda move. They represent a shift in Soviet policy, trying to prevent Germany from joining the West militarily...
...with his dog, his secretary brought disturbing news. Negotiations for a solid anti-Communist alliance in next month's municipal elections in southern Italy were collapsing. The monarchists, probably the third largest party in the south, were demanding as their price for joining the Demochristian alliance that the neo-Fascist M.S.I. party also be admitted.

Yet De Gasperi, for all his willingness to compromise, would not compromise with...
...Wanted? Because revolutions often become epidemic, some fear that the Batista coup and last week's Bolivian revolt may be followed by explosions elsewhere, possibly in Ecuador or Colombia. But nobody in Latin America, except the Communists and the neo-fascist fringe, professes to want any other kind of government except democracy. In the long run, as hunger and ignorance are dealt with, democracy may yet win in Latin America, though it is likely to be quite different from the U.S. variety...
...cannot predict the future with assurance (though we may look to it with dread). But we can point to the trend. In general it is away from the neo-breezeblown toward the neo-neat. The pigtail of yesteryear is not yet gone but is is fading fast. No longer does the milkmaid arrange her silken tresses into the wonted braids. Her sister in the big city is likewise gripped by the fever of change. On all sides the idols of the past are falling--even the neo-underbrush, once so secure, is threatened. No one knows what the future...
