...decry Europe's Atlantic partnership, offering instead a grandiose, 18th century vision of an independent continent dominated by France. De Gaulle's rhetoric prompted the resignations of five French Cabinet ministers, drew worried disavowals from De Gaulle's frequent partner-in-criticism, West Germany's Konrad Adenauer, and stung Kennedy to the strongest public rebuff he has yet aimed at an Allied head of state.
