...mark, in fact, is no longer an ordinary currency; it has become the de facto leader of a whole block of currencies issued by countries that make up an unofficial "Deutsche Mark zone." Include the Dutch guilder, the Belgian franc, the Luxembourg franc, the Danish, Swedish and Norwegian kroner, the Swiss franc and the Austrian schilling. They tend to rise and fall with the mark, so the mark's strength has pushed the value of the dollar down against all of them...
Another housewife who found that she gobbled calories at home between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. now leaves the house and does her errands in the late afternoon. A college student who used to eat Danish pastries on the way to school has changed her route to give wide berth to the bakery. She has also moved her desk out of the kitchen.

...unhappily, toward unity. The latest Middle East war has shown just how tenuous that unity still is. Last week in Copenhagen, the Common Market Foreign Ministers met and agreed on a French-sponsored plan for periodic summit meetings. The first will be held Dec. 14 and 15 in the Danish capital in an atmosphere of unusual intimacy-even the Foreign Ministers will not be allowed into the discussions by the heads of state. Such a format, the Ministers reasoned, will allow their bosses to talk on a few key subjects and, with luck, reach a consensus. TIME's Chief...
