...home in the Mezzogiorno or Andalusia, are jammed into old army barracks or cheap rooms, sometimes even sleep in unfinished apartments on their construction jobs. Unable to integrate with Swiss life, they have their own ghettos, complete with trattorie and Italian movie houses. Swiss industry shudders at what would happen if their countries were to recall the workers abruptly. "Our economic life is at the mercy of Rome and Madrid," moans one official...
...Ponti's acquisition of French citizenship has churned up a real fear that many others will soon follow him abroad. "Just imagine what would happen," asked one member of Parliament, "if all the 'irregulars' in the arts should follow Ponti's example!"

...cause which coincides with the General's ambitions. The hard-core cadres of Gaullism belong to the elite Union pour la Nouvelle Republique (U.N.R.). Millions of women cast their ballots for the General simply because "they are used to him and are afraid of what would happen were he to disappear. But the most devoted Gaullists are the oldtimers, veteran troops who joined the Free France movement in 1940. Their homage is unconditional. They are the ones who willing serve... the right...
