Limited Pacification? From sources close to De Gaulle came predictions that the new plan would offer Algeria alternatives under which "nothing will be excluded-not even independence." Almost certainly, the general would call for "pacification" as a first step in his plan, if only to keep the touchy and victory-hungry French army behind him.

Bubbling with official indignation, the commissioner flatly rejected Fat Steak's offer. But last week idle Amsterdamers out for a spot of nozem watching found remarkably little to look at.
