...been steadily declining for five months, or why it has dropped so precipitously in the past two weeks. Plainly, there has been a significant shift in the basic attitude of U.S. investors. Edmund Tabell, vice president of Manhattan's Walston & Co., whose crystal ball is one of the clearest on Wall Street, was confident that he knew what had brought about the change. Said he: "The market is selling off because we have been paying too much for stocks as a hedge against inflation." Market analysts, economists and businessmen of all political persuasions agree that one event made...
President Charles de Gaulle has decided that the best way to run France is by referendum, "the clearest, frankest, most democratic practice there is. It is becoming a French custom." It also had the advantage that the President could determine the need, the timing, and the phrasing of any plebiscite...
Early Warning. Many U.S. entrepreneurs in the Common Market will thus have to worry about possible antitrust prosecution from three different quarters-the U.S., the European nation in which they are operating and the Common Market.

(Her majesty died of small pox on the fifth of March...
...marching orders covered nearly everything from Portuguese oppression in Angola (disapproved by a narrow margin of 179-177) to admission of Red China into the U.N. (gingerly favored) to anti-Semitism (bitterly condemned). But the clearest expression of the Council's mind came in the three major reports on 1) Christian Service, 2) Witness, and 3) Unity. In this triad of messages, the Council reflected both its actuality as a going, growing concern, and the difficulties still to be faced in giving the right weight to beliefs so different as those of Greek Orthodox Metropolitans and Pentecostal missionaries from...
