...week played host to the grandeur that is Charles de Gaulle. French Sûreté agents flew in ahead of time to go over the dossiers of resident foreigners and eye new arrivals at Hellenikon airport. Greek army engineers prowled the sewers of Athens, searching for hidden bombs; grey-uniformed cops stood guard 25 yards apart along the eight-mile parade route. Emotionally, a retired Greek general announced that he was personally ready to slash his wrists to give blood, if De Gaulle were shot. More prudently, Greece's Premier Constantine Karamanlis had his own blood typed...

From a fortresslike grey stone headquarters beside the Thames near Parliament, the directors of Britain's largest nongovernment enterprise supervise an imperial giant with bases in 48 nations. Led by lean, nimble Chairman Stanley Paul Chambers, 59. they run their decentralized, globe-circling operation with the same easy writing-paper informality with which it was founded. That and a tigerlike lunge for new business last week enabled I.C.I, to announce 1962 sales that rose 5% to $1.6 billion and earnings that jumped 14% to $91.8 million...
