...pinned the silver badges of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire on their solemn, ungear suits. Outside, things were normal again, with a few hundred caterwauling kids trying to crash the palace gates and the Beatles bubbling Liverpudlian again. "She's got a keen pad," whooped Paul, "and I liked the staff. I thought they'd be dukes and things, but they were just fellahs." Then he added tenderly: "She was like...
Evolution & Revolution. Resentment against the French mainland (which Corsicans still call le continent) is nearly as keen as that against the repatriates. Complains Jean Zuccarelli, 33, a philosophy teacher turned farmer: "France can provide irrigation for Communist countries, can pour aid into North Africa, but hasn't enough money to help Corsica."

Supply is still ahead of demand, even though industrial plants are running close to 90% of capacity. Two further dampeners to runaway inflation: keen competition from foreign industries, and multiplying competitive pressures at home resulting from industry's vast outlays for new plant and equipment. Nonetheless, Washington has reason for concern. Despite the absence of concerted inflationary forces to date, the plain fact is that prices and wages are rising all over...
