Pompidou's death will plunge Europe into a lengthy period of paralysis. The tragic news from the Elysee reached a meeting of Common Market foreign ministers in Luxembourg just one day after British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan had finished making the new Labor government's case for a "fundamental renegotiation" of the terms of Britain's EEC membership-meaning its determination to work out a better economic deal.

The most important fragment he has studied is a jagged, thumbnail-sized piece of papyrus containing only 17 letters, which cut vertically across five lines of text. His technique for identifying it and other fragments-a standard...
