...attack on "the revanchists of Bonn" in recent issues of Pravda lends further credence to their argument. Moscow seems to be using the German menace to scare its allies back into the fold. The device may be effective, but it clearly seeks unity at the cost of greater East-West tension. Another factor that confirms Russian determination to keep its satellites in hand is the obvious unease of many of the East European states. Rumania and Yugoslavia have both been jittery and even Albania, long unfriendly to Yugoslavia, established contacts with Belgrade as Bulgarian troops massed on the Yugoslav border...

Almost half of the continent's clergy are foreigners, most of them Spaniards, Italians and Irish-Americans. More often than not, they are better-educated and more zealous than the native priests...
...with the picture and one day goes to his father to ask about the girl Lily only to be told that she has been dead for years. There are several visionary musical breakthroughs in the song. It is a medium fast song but in the middle the drums suddenly fold and Daltrey sings very tenderly, "Lily oh Lily pictures of Lily" with no accompaniment. It is clear that this break and pause represents the boy falling in love, and in the very next verse he proclaims his love. Just after the interlude and before the song swings into gear again...
