...their own time, Jessop's managers and workers alike pitched in for a year to lug away junk, paint cranes, repair roads, whitewash walls, mend roofs, hang office draperies-all led by Rackley in person. Only once did a tired worker complain, calling Rackley a phony. Equally tired, Rackley promptly punched the dissident in the nose. In admiration for his hard work and leadership, employees gave Rackley a $2,000 kitchen for his home last year, gather there for parties with the boss...
...Assembly. Last week the Assembly debated the bold plan for a Common Market (TIME, Jan. 28) that would give six Western European nations a tariff-free trading area nearly as big as the U.S. Premier Guy Mollet, so optimis tic at first, was shaken and depressed.

It would explain the recent reversal of the Khrushchev line, the rewarming of Stalinist slogans for the benefit of Old Guard Communists such as Molotov, and the coolness towards Tito. It would also account for Khrushchev's belated dash down to Budapest (in the pattern...
...favoring aggression, now resented his failure to finish the job. Mollet's own Socialist Party was split last week: 17 Socialist Deputies, including former Minister of Interior Jules Moch, demanded an extraordinary national party congress to review Mollet's record. The Radical Socialist Party headed by Pierre Mendès-France threatened to withdraw its 13 ministers from Mollet's coalition Cabinet unless he revised his Middle East and Algerian policies. The M.R.P. (Catholic) Party voted against Mollet in Parliament, forcing him to carry the issue (a minor budgetary item) on Communist votes. The meaning of these...
