...examinations is a challenge to the philosophy hitherto basic to NATO's military planning-the concept of an integrated, internationally commanded force in which each member nation would concentrate on the weapons and services that it was particularly well equipped to supply. This concept De Gaulle is openly determined to eradicate. Said he in a little noticed speech to France's Center of Advanced Military Studies fortnight ago: "If France should have to fight a war, then it must be its own war. It must defend itself by itself and in its own fashion . . . Naturally, if the case...
...started in Ceylon nine years ago, primarily as a mutual-aid forum of ten British Commonwealth nations, it has become the accepted regional headquarters for development plans affecting a quarter of the world's population. In that time $6 billion in foreign aid has been pledged to its member countries-nearly $5 billion of it from the U.S. About two-thirds of all the aid has gone to India.

Last week Tiger Song's nearly completed purge ran into unexpected opposition.

The Journal refused to bargain separately, and the stereotypers walked off both papers, to be followed by members of all the other newspaper unions. At that point the executives, editorial-page writers, ad salesmen, secretaries and other nonunion employees of the Oregonian and the Journal put on yellow aprons and ran off a joint, jury...
Communism & Islam. Inevitably, the Rev. Nicholas Bhengu is known throughout Africa as "the black Billy Graham." In fact, Bhengu's manner and technique are unlike Graham's; he uses no publicity or promotion to advertise his campaigns, and his only assistance is a ten-member choir of amateurs supplied by the churches of his mission. His platform presence is almost subdued. But whether he is talking to black audiences or white, Bhengu weaves a spell no less effective than Billy...
