Threat of Fires. But the greatest immediate concern was political. Two of the main problems that turned France upside down?student unrest and inflation?are endemic to most of Europe. Indeed, until three weeks ago, European students elsewhere had been far more ferocious than the French ones. Now, in an ominous emulation, Belgian students last week seized the university in Brussels, and New Left students in England placed the black flag of anarchy atop the London School of Economics. Warned the West German weekly Rheinischer Merkur: "France does not stand outside the political streams and conflicts of the Western world...
Wispy Smuggler. Other copies of Cancer Ward have been brought out from Russia. Several chapters turned up in a Slovak literary journal called Bratislava, which, like many East European Communist periodicals, is not heavily censored and thus provides another source for sharp-eyed Westerners. A completed copy of Cancer Ward turned up in Rome, where Publisher Alberto Mondadori in March copyrighted a Russian-language edition that he says was brought to him unsolicited.

Between scheduled flights to European capitals in the early years, its secondhand, U.S.-built C46 Commandos and Skymasters used to be outfitted with Cuban colors and repainted "Near East Airlines" overnight in order to evacuate 140,000 stranded Jews from Arab lands. More recently, during last summer's short but savage war, 60% of El Al crews were mobilized, while the rest moved military cargoes from Europe to Israel. "El Al is not only a national airline," explains President Ben-Ari, a scarred veteran of the 1948 Israeli-Arab...
...Waste Land of T. S. Eliot first appeared in the Dial (1880-1929). For the single year that it survived, transatlantic review, edited by Ford Madox Ford in Paris, gave voice to such American expatriates of the 1920s as Ezra Pound and Ernest Hemingway. This Quarter, another European-based review, published the early writings of Aldous Huxley...
