Ludwig Erhard has said little on foreign policy in recent years, but he insists, it is "stupid chatter" to suggest that he is uninformed on the subject. He was gravely disturbed by Charles de Gaulle's veto of Britain in the Com mon Market and called it "a black hour for Europe." While he supported Adenauer's treaty with France, privately he makes no secret of the fact that De Gaulle leaves him mystified. The two have met on several occasions, and do not really hit it off.

I do not think there will ever be esteem for a country that has a bad currency." When he died of a heart attack at 69 in London last week, after seven years as the managing director...
...Monsarrat's narrative soon proves puzzling. His hero is a Foreign Service security officer known as "Drill-Pig." attached as third secretary to a Western embassy, who appears to be more important than the ambassador himself. Is Mon sarrat trying to say that the necessity for security in the West has infected the whole organization and personnel of the British Foreign Service with the methods of a totalitarian state? Smith and Jones do not seem to be staking their lives on a confrontation of opposing faiths; they appear only as a couple of sexual deviates who might just...
