...many, the lull seemed a deliberate Soviet effort to warm the diplomatic atmosphere for the new round of negotiations on Berlin opening in Washington this week between Secretary of State Dean Rusk and the Kremlin's new Ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Dobrynin. Moscow was aware that new U.S. proposals on Berlin were being circulated among the Western allies, obviously did not want to rock the boat until it saw what the West had to offer. In any case, the U.S. was still determined to retain allied access to the free city, and the Soviets showed no signs...
...been built." Unenlightened, Bartlett pressed Walker for the names of some apparatus members: "I think our country is entitled to the names of these people because, according to this statement, they are traitors and ready to let this country go over to the enemy." Walker named of State Dean Rusk and State Department Counselor Walt Whitman Rostow as "people who appear to think the same lines as the apparatus."

Only one element is missing: Soviet willingness to conclude an agreement...
...West began tossing out more hints of compromise; Britain's Foreign Secretary Lord Home promised the "absolute minimum" of verification (the term now used for detection and inspection). On the larger question of what the experts call"G. & C" (general and complete disarmament), the U.S.'s Dean Rusk suggested an intriguing scheme designed to soften Russian fear of inspection "espionage." It was similar to the plan of random geo graphical samplings proposed by Harvard University's International Law Professor Louis B. Sohn. Under the "Sohn Zone" system, each country would be divided into a number of areas...
