...Lone Loss. But when it came to his dream of the future Europe, Schuman was a leader among Europe's postwar generation of Christian Democratic radical integrationists. After helping found the Catholic M.R.P. and twice serving as postwar Premier of France (from November 1947 to July 1948, and for another brief period later in 1948), Schuman took over the Foreign Minister's post. In 1949, after helping draw up the North Atlantic Treaty blueprint, he signed the historic NATO pact on France's behalf. In 1950, in league with another French Eurocrat, Jean Monnet, he proposed...
...fourth raid on Cuba in less than a month. In the first, a plane strafed and bombed a sugarmill in Camaguey province. Three nights later, the Castro government complained, a lone bomber, lights out and engines feathered, coasted over the southern coastal town of Casilda.

And the lone committee dissenter, Louisiana Democrat Russell Long, insisted that if certain doubts were satisfied, he would probably vote for ratification...
...careful not to attack it, and some of the wealthiest Jews contribute to Verwoerd's National Party. But to thousands of others, especially the younger, university-educated group, apartheid smells too much like Nazism. In the 1961 general election, Jews voted massively against the National Party, and the lone anti-apartheid crusader in the 160-member Assembly today is the pert, irrepressible Jewish wife of a Johannesburg physician, Mrs. Helen Suzman...
