At the NATO Parliamentarians' Conference in Paris, French Deputy Pierre Schneiter, white with anger, declared that "the pursuit of Atlantic unity has no further purpose," and stalked out, followed by the rest of the French delegation. France's harried young Premier Felix Gaillard, who had called Ambassador Houghton in at 1:30 a.m. to protest the U.S.British arms shipments, implied that France would boycott...

Orthodox Jews would have been horrified at the thought of a child growing up in Israel without knowing the words of a single prayer or the uses of candles on the Sabbath. And the zealous, Socialist-minded Zionists of a generation ago would never have exposed their children to religious rites, which they viewed as symbols...
