Speaking on the subject, "Education in Europe and the U.S.", Conant devoted a main part of his lecture to explaining the basic differences between American and European universities...

If Erhard was guilty of hopeful exaggeration, the fact remains that West Germany alone among European nations had legally accepted the principle that competition is good, restraint of trade...
Heady Promise. While Ludwig Erhard dreamed of his home-grown Sherman Act, other Europeans had been dreaming even headier dreams. Spurred on by France's Jean Monnet and Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak, six Western European nations (France, West Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries) early this year finished drawing up treaties to establish both a European Common Market and a European Atomic Energy Community (TIME, March 4).

One of the bestselling of the gnatty new bug cars is Bavarian Motor Works' pyramid-shaped Isetta 300 (price: $1,048 and up), which has moved into more than 2,500 American garages this year. The Isetta has two widely spaced front wheels and two narrowly spaced rear wheels, speeds up to 62 m.p.h...
