...Also no help to NATO morale is the attitude of France's Charles de Gaulle who now openly, almost contemptuously, rejects integrated European defense, the very cornerstone of the NATO concept. Upset by this, the smaller countries found a way to assert themselves when De Gaulle proposed that a permanent political consultative body be established within the new six-nation Common Market structure. Fearing this would mean domination by France, Belgium and The Netherlands bluntly vetoed the scheme. "We do not want our country run from the Quai d'Orsay," said one Dutch official...
...Hashemite dream of a "Fertile Crescent" extending from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, he trumpeted that neighboring Syria is "inseparable from the Iraqi people." and that Jordan "is still tied to the chariot of imperialism and when she wishes to recover her freedom we will be ready to help her."

A naval radio instructor had spent all his liberties in the Mediterranean haunting archaeological digs. Others were just as hungry for academic pursuits, though a bit rusty. Most needed help in such forgotten arts as ordering their thoughts in a coherent essay.
