...floor of the glass-sheathed, 15-story headquarters, the Foreign Ministers of the six member nations struggled to define the conditions for British entry on London's third attempt to gain admission to the European Economic Community. One floor below, the British team, headed by Chief Negotiator Geoffrey Rippon, passed the time playing bridge and working on position papers. On the ground floor, some 200 newsmen waited amid a litter of empty beer bottles, empty coffee cups and sandwich crusts for an end to the tough bargaining session...
...answer is "yes." Sticky Fingers has sold a half-million copies in its first two weeks. It also shows that the Stones are masters of much more than what British Critic Geoffrey Cannon calls "roaring white rock." Bitch and Brown Sugar, as irreverent, aggressive and sexually brutal as ever, will delight old-line Stones fans. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, by contrast, is a stylistic meeting place for old and new. It begins with that familiar buzzing, distorted guitar sound and inimitable druggy sentiments ("Yeah, you've got plastic boots/ Y'all got cocaine eyes Yeah...
...finally produced the necessary compromise. Even now, cautious optimism is detectable on both sides. French Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann said casually: "There are really no serious problems with Britain's joining.

"It would have to take place with the full consent of the two families," he wrote. "It would, in fact, be a sacramental act, made, as indeed marriage itself is, essentially by the two persons themselves. After that, sexual intercourse between them would not be regarded...
...turned the gates of its prisons into revolving doors. Uruguay, by contrast, has refused to negotiate for the release of any foreign hostages. The policy is a risky one. U.S. Police Adviser Daniel Mitrione was murdered last August by his captors, the Tupamaro guerrillas. British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson has been held by kidnapers for more than two months, and last week the guerrillas seized Attorney General Guido Berro Oribe for "questioning." Nonetheless, the Uruguayan government is hopeful that its policy will ultimately put an end to political kidnapings, since the Tupamaros have gained little for their trouble and, in resorting...
