From the barricaded buildings of Rome University to Britain's Porton Down Microbiological Research Center, the protests of those revolutionaries continued to agitate Western Europe last week. British students held a lie-in demonstration at the chemical center, also shoved their way past campus "bulldog" proctors to demand, and win, the right to distribute freely pamphlets at Oxford. In Rome, where they began their protest by setting fire to an effigy of Charles de Gaulle, some 2,000 students held the campus until moderate students, anxious to finish exams, and armed police stormed it.

"This is where we stand," concluded the editorial. "Where do you stand...
Fully Meshed. Until the trade pact was signed, Canada's U.S.-owned auto plants had to gear themselves to a relatively small market. Although demand was sufficient to justify manufacturing a number of basic models, it hardly warranted turning out a full line. If a Canadian buyer wanted a Thunderbird, it had to be imported-with a 17½% duty added onto the price...
