...gilded summers in East Hampton gave way to the 75-acre waterfront Auchincloss estate in Newport, R.I. If anything, life was more mutedly elegant than before: Merrywood, the Auchincloss chateau in suburban Virginia, is rich with taste and culture: soft-spoken butlers pad across the wine-colored carpets; mellow, morocco-bound classics line the walls; and television is relegated to a tiny recess on one side of the vast fireplace. While the Kennedys were haranguing one another with political questions at their Hyannisport table, dinner at Merrywood was often conducted in French...
Where Now? In their panicky fear of abandonment, Europeans searched for a way out and looked nervously to recently independent Tunisia and Morocco for a hint of their fate. The facts were sobering. In Tunisia, only 60,000 Frenchmen remain of the 180,000 who lived there on independence day five years ago. More than 100,000 of the 350,000 French who resided in Morocco have left. Most have returned to France. But more than half of the million Europeans in Algeria are of Spanish, Italian and Corsican descent, have no family or economic links with France, and work...

Some of Africa's most ambitious heads of state turned up in Casablanca last week at the invitation of Morocco's King Mohammed V. Scarcely out of swaddling clothes themselves, they share a compelling tendency to run everyone else's show. Their present purpose: to tell the world that they know better than the U.N. how to straighten out riot-torn, chaotic Congo...
...long independent as Ethiopia or as populous as Nigeria (40 million) are not eager to be camp followers of such newcomers as Ghana and Guinea. Similarly, the Casablanca conference made little appeal to the newly independent states of the French Community-one of which, Mauritania, fears attack by Morocco. Headed by Ivory Coast's President Félix Houphouet-Boigny, this group of nations prefers keeping their cultural and economic ties with France to adventures with Nkrumah or Nasser...
