...convinced that the future belongs to the great human communities," he once said. "Europe is one of these communities." To try to make it so, Spaak made his weight felt in every major international endeavor since World War II. He helped write the United Nations Charter in 1945 and was the first president of the U.N. General Assembly. He presided over the Council of Europe, headed the final negotiations that led to the European Common Market. And, for all his pacifism, he was secretary-general of NATO from...

We had laboriously prepared signs for our favorite Patriots; and not just one sign for a player. We had all the letters for spelling out G-I-N-O and B-A-B-E and C-A-P-P-E-L-E-T-T-I and P-A-R-I-L-L-I on separate cards, plus additional cards...
