Since Europe needs cheap nuclear power more than the hydroelectric rich U.S., Ike believes the U.S. can use Euratom experience to study problems of nuclear-power development, will benefit even more because Euratom will inevitably pull European nations toward...
Curator Bazin utters a proud Frenchman's protest against comparing Napoleon's vacuum-cleaner sweep of European art with the wholesale robbery by Hitler and Goring. Napoleon, Bazin insists, was motivated by the lofty ideal of creating a new and universal European culture, and was within the ethics of his time.

The American people are neither squeamish nor hypocritical about the importance of money in the modern world . . .
