...slowed considerably in the past two years. The expanded Common Market's influence will stretch from the equator-counting former French and British African colonies that have been granted special trading arrangements-almost to the North Pole, assuming that Norway joins after a referendum next summer, along with Denmark and Ireland. The Ten will have a population of 258 million (see map), a combined gross national product that is expected to total $660 billion in 1971 (compared with an estimated $1,058 billion for the U.S. this year), and almost twice as much gold in their reserves as there...
...Germany. The West Germans hope that the British will help impose more effective parliamentary controls on the Eurocrats. The Benelux countries, having frequently been forced to bow to the demands of the Continent's Big Two, are also expected to look to Britain for counsel.

Agnew sat at the end of the table with a small American contingent, including a bejeweled Mrs. Henry Ford II. The banquet was scheduled to last three hours...
...lesser degree, the Soviets have made a similar point with Denmark, whose NATO task in any conflict would be to mine the exit from the Baltic-a move that would require approval from the Danish Parliament. The Soviets now regard the Baltic as virtually a Cornmunist sea. On a "goodwill" call in Copenhagen last August, Soviet Vice Admiral L.V. Mizhin, deputy commander of the Soviet Baltic fleet, pointedly complained that an American cruiser had shown up in the Baltic Sea, and that West Germany had intensified its naval exercises there. The Soviets are on the verge of achieving their most...
