...pattern and practice, it is what the French call a tour d'horizon. At a time when the policies and programs of nations East and West are undergoing great if often subtle change, it studies the meaning and thrust of these new forces and explores the Gaullist question of whether an era is approaching that may see all Europe in one part...
...Great's throne room, Brezhnev launched into a lengthy, violent diatribe against West Germany-a "revanchist" state, which 25 years ago last week had invaded Russia, that has not yet accepted the postwar Oder-Neisse frontier and, moreover, now demands nuclear weapons.

"The internationalizing of modern Europe should force France into relying on the few strong regions she possesses, giving them a better chance of catching up with the European industrial level. Due to their economic policies, Belgium and Holland have attracted a great...
