...transatlantic spans that have long linked the U.S. and Western Europe are beginning to sag. There was evidence of change everywhere last week: in London, where Prime Minister Harold Wilson declared that Britain wanted to join Europe as a "pillar of equal strength" with the U.S.-and clamp a collar on American investments; in Paris, where Charles de Gaulle, pointedly turning his back on the Atlantic, told visiting Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin that "our Europe is a whole" even in Bonn, where West Germany's new Chancellor declared: "We wish to have relations of trust with every nation, including...
Sidearm & Clamp. Hanratty and Seymour hit it off together early at South Bend. They patiently took their lumps as scrubs for last year's varsity (Notre Dame does not field a freshman team); then last winter they began slipping away at night to the Notre Dame field house for some serious get-acquainted sessions. Before that very first 42-yd. pass against Purdue could be completed, there were a lot of things they had to know about each other. For instance, what kind of delivery does Hanratty prefer?

It might even be necessary to clamp down on railway traffic. Such a project would be frightening for Vorster to consider. A successful economic boycott of Rhodesia might convince the world community that something can be done about South Africa...
...lighter and remarkably versatile. They can fire as many as four different sizes of sutures in as many different patterns. The stapler itself looks like a stainless steel monkey wrench with a pistol grip. Setting its minuscule metal staples in suture lines that are doubled for safety, it can clamp together as much as 3½ inches of tissue with a single squeeze of the surgeon's hand. It can save upwards of half an hour for complicated stomach or lung operations...
