...week: in London, where Prime Minister Harold Wilson declared that Britain wanted to join Europe as a "pillar of equal strength" with the U.S.-and clamp a collar on American investments; in Paris, where Charles de Gaulle, pointedly turning his back on the Atlantic, told visiting Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin that "our Europe is a whole" even in Bonn, where West Germany's new Chancellor declared: "We wish to have relations of trust with every nation, including the East, the Soviet Union." Europe, in short, may well be on the brink of a major realignment, and Johnson...
...only nation unilaterally to renounce the right to produce nuclear weapons, it is disappointed that it is still feared and mistrusted as a potential nuclear menace. It is tired of being the favorite whipping boy of Russia and the Communist countries, which take every opportunity?as did Premier Aleksei Kosygin last week in France?to attack its policies and raise the specter of neo-Nazism or fascism.

The visitor was British Foreign Secretary George Brown, 52, making his first trip to the Soviet Union to discuss with Premier Aleksei Kosygin and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko a peace plan for Viet Nam and the problems of nuclear proliferation. Brown did not get far with the Russians, but he predictably described the talks as "frank" and "most useful." Those are adjectives that apply equally to Brown himself. Lately Harold Wilson has been...
