From a bantering tone, Malraux turned skeptical on the subject of the hour-Europe. "It does not exist," he said, "and never has. It is the last of the great myths. Europe is a pink spot on the map. [In the Middle Ages it was] decided that there was a Europe because there was Christianity. Christianity was serious. Europe is a dream -for Europeans but also for others. I would like to know just how serious the American dream of Europe was. Did the leaders of America really ever believe in it?" The notion of a European Parliament was barely...
...West Germany that has quite a few positions available, offering not only security, fringe benefits, promotion and good pay, but also foreign travel and exciting assignments. According to an eight-page brochure available at government employment offices, men and women are needed in more than 40 professions-from map makers and pharmacologists to computer programmers and historians. The eyebrow-raiser is the address to which prospective applicants should write: the headquarters of the Bundesnachrichtendienst, or Federal Intelligence Service, Bonn's equivalent of the CIA. What that agency wants to hire is spies...
...Canadian energy firms, filed a 7,000-page application in Ottawa and Washington. The group is seeking permission to build a 2,600-mile pipeline from Alaska's Prudhoe Bay and Canada's Mackenzie River Delta, across the barren Mackenzie Valley and into the U.S. (see map).

Bearing a projected price tag of $5.7 billion, the pipeline would likely be the largest privately financed...
...those incongruous specks on the map that once posted the British Empire, the isolated little island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean was no better known than it ought to be. Consisting of two slender strips of sand skirting a great lagoon-"like a V written by a shaky hand," wrote one visitor-it was overrun by forbidding jungle growth, wild donkeys and giant land crabs that, according to the few hundred migratory workers who settled the island and harvested its coconut palms, would mass like an army to attack and devour the unwary stroller...
...vintage year so far for Yale University. First came the revelation that Yale library's famous "Vin-land map" may be nothing more than a wondrously wrought forgery (TIME, Feb. 4). Then last week came a Connecticut Supreme Court challenge to Mory's, the all-male New Haven drinking club, which must now fight to maintain its private-club status in order to continue refusing to admit women (a policy since 1886). The "gentlemen songsters off on a spree" proclaimed in Yale's Whiffenpoof Song may be presented with the uncomfortable choice of finding a watering hole...
