...even Charles de Gaulle-could say with certainty what form the Polaris offer might finally take. Kennedy promised at Nassau to equip British nuclear submarines with the missile on condition that the government commit its Polaris fleet to NATO for the defense of Western Europe as a whole (TIME, Dec. 28). The terms cabled to De Gaulle were "similar," Administration officials said; they could not be "identical" without drastic changes in U.S. law.

Rejecting the social gospel, Pentecostals concentrate instead on a puritanical personal morality. Members shun cigarettes and whisky; women wear no makeup...
...when a batch of aging American F-84s was given to the reviving Luftwaffe, as one British reporter put it, "like free samples of detergent." One year later, despite a brand-new tank factory in Lancashire, Britain lost out to the U.S. M48 tank in bidding to equip West Germany's armored corps...
