Four months ago, a significant new element entered African politics. Leaders of the moderate French-speaking nations, meeting in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott, formed the 14-member Organisation Commune Africaine et Malgache-the largest single bloc of nations in Africa. Built around the thriving Western-oriented economy of the Ivory Coast and Senegal's traditional cultural leadership of French Africa, the OCAM represents 36 million Africans spread over one-fifth of the continent. One of its purposes: to offset the radical foreign policies of such hotheads as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, create a new moderate center...
...other in the French edition, Critique de la Raison Dialectique and the introductory Question de Methode. As is the case with Raymond Aron, American publishers have adopted the infuriating habit of translating all but the most important of a man's work first, so that Aron's Guerre et Paix entre Les Nations and Sartre's Critique have still not appeared.

TIME can see no farther than the end of its nose...
...setting could scarcely have been better for his purposes: four Western departments (Vendée, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne and Sarthe), all warmly Gaullist, all heavily Catholic, all refreshingly rural. Sun and showers alternately splashed the meadows as the presidential cortege-a mile-long column of black limousines punctuated by thundering motorcycles-struck sonorously past ranks of poplars and blue-legged gendarmes. In village after village, De Gaulle repeated the tried and true routine: a ritual exchange with the awed mayor, a Lyndon-like lunge into the thicket of outstretched hands, a brief utterance from the bunting-draped platform, then...
