...their cells. There was no evidence to prove that the police were at fault, but no one could convince suspicious Frenchmen that the deaths were not caused by third-degree tactics. Paris has also gotten a little tired of the overzealous use of submachine guns issued during the past Algerian terrorist outbreaks. When a panther escaped from a circus, a flic mistook a shadow for the beast and in error plugged a passerby. Another ludicrously chopped up a cow, broken loose from a slaughterhouse, with his tommy...
...Rivals. The bloody fight for Angola is the only shooting war still raging in Africa. To win it and "liberate"' the continent's biggest colonial territory, African leaders in Addis Ababa last week vociferously supported Algerian Premier Ahmed ben Bella's call to "establish a bond of blood" with the Angolan nationalists. The war is a grievous burden for tiny Portugal, which already has Western Europe's lowest living standard. But Strongman Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. 74, is by now too deeply committed to preservation of Angola as a "province" of Portugal to yield the Africans...
Things began going wrong almost from the moment Gamal Abdel Nasser sailed into Algiers harbor to begin his state visit. The day he arrived, an Algerian minesweeper that had escorted Nasser's yacht sank with the loss of three crewmen.

...miles (see map), the $120 million line took two years to lay, consumed 80,000 sections of 34-in. pipe, and was financed by a consortium of 16 firms from six countries-West Germany, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain, the U.S. It will take Middle East and Algerian oil from tankers and channel it to twelve departments of eastern France, to the northern half of Switzerland and to a southern portion of Germany that accounts for 40% of all West German oil consumption. By eliminating overland haulage and the 2,000-mi.-plus roundabout ocean voyage to North...
...Leftist Editor Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, whose weekly L'Express has been having its own circulation troubles since the end of the Algerian war deprived it of its major issue, doubts that any of these measures will halt the downtrend. The problem, says he, is neither TV, nor slanted reporting, nor a glut of papers, but the fact that Charles de Gaulle has hobbled political parties. "Gaullist France is not interested in national affairs," said Servan-Schreiber, a longtime anti-Gaul-list, who might have a telling point here. "People know that De Gaulle makes his own decisions...
