...that kind of group, and one that realized that they had shared an unparalleled experience together. Last week they had more of it-in Germany, dinner with Chancellor Erhard, lunch with ex-Chancellor Adenauer. In Paris, lunch with French Premier Pompidou, a dinner with "Mr. Europe," Jean Monnet. In Brussels, a dinner with a picked group of Common Market Eurocrats. By now the businessmen, whose questioning of experts had been diffident at first, had become forthright. When the Common Market's Vice Chairman Robert Marjolin, a Yale-educated French Social ist, called for questions, he was asked: "Why should...

As air time neared, the French government had decided that the remarks of the old gentlemen, particularly Monnet, might be inimical to the views of their own Old Gentleman, so they refused the use of the receiving station at Pleumeur-Bodou, which alone serves all of Europe in Telstar communications.
