...tour first paused in Paris for lunch with French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville, who had visited the Eastern-bloc nations earlier this year, and a briefing session with U.S. Ambassador to France Charles ("Chip") Bohlen, U.S. Ambassador to Germany George McGhee, and the Permanent U.S. Representative to NATO, Ambassador Harlan Cleveland. The group then boarded the TIME-chartered Pan Am 727 for the flight to Vienna and the bus ride to Budapest, the only overland part of the trip...
Shoot Now, Pay Later. Actually, Latin American nations spend only $1.7 billion a year, or about 12% of their total government budgets on arms, compared with 55% for the U.S. and 25.6% for the European NATO countries. But in an area of the world where the necessity for social reform so far outweighs military needs, even that small percentage appears excessive.

Besides, argued the Belgians, Brussels was already overcrowded, and the sudden appearance of the SHAPE staffers and their families would be certain to drive up the cost...
...barracks on an 800-acre military reservation. By next spring, construction teams intend to throw up a modern headquarters, heliport, and 600 prefabricated houses for SHAPE'S staff of about 2,000 men and their numerous dependents. The cost -$43 million-will be shared by the 14 surviving NATO military members. France avoided a share of the bill by withdrawing from NATO's military committee...
