...hope that his partners would cave in and drop their supranational proposals, De Gaulle carefully kept the door slightly ajar. By "inviting" Boegner home rather than formally recalling him, the general avoided an outright break in diplomatic relations that would have signaled the end of the Common Market. French officials continued last week to attend technical EEC sessions hammering out the implementation of previously approved business like pig-meat subsidies and inland-waterway rates. Still, so complex have the Six's economic ties become that De Gaulle's veto on any new business has the effect of slowly...
...sure to raise a storm anywhere on the Continent. They violate one of Europe's oldest labor traditions: a job, once obtained, is supposed to last indefinitely. Normally, European-owned factories switch workers to other assignments or put them on half-day shifts, but almost never fire them outright. Machines Bull-General Electric a month ago drew black headlines and angry cries of "Paris is not Arizona!" when it laid off 500 workers. When the U.S.-owned Beloit-Italia paper machinery plant near Turin tried to lay off 300 employees recently, workers invaded the factory in protest and occupied...
...Chief's Children. Beyond the outright murders and kidnapings is the evidence of acts even more grisly. Two years ago, a government force came upon 35 weeping women and children-and the bodies of 30 Vietnamese militiamen, throats cut, bodies disemboweled, and in many cases, emasculated. In Binh Dinh province, the Viet Cong beheaded a village chief and hacked off the arm of the chief's twelve-year-old daughter. They also took the chief's six-year-old son, laid a rifle across his bare back and fired it several times, leaving a twelve-inch scar...
...greatest danger lies not in outright propaganda but in the power of illusion. A large part of world opinion still insists that John Kennedy was the victim of an extremist plot. Again and again, with or without help from Red propaganda, such terms as "imperialism," "intervention," "exploitation" and "fallout" produce outbursts of unreasoning prejudice. Semantics run wild, or merely sloppy. Such labels as "mercenaries" for the government soldiers in the Congo and "constitutionalists" for the rebels in the present Dominican crisis, are picked up and repeated, subtly changing the climate of opinion...
Durham and Jones feel that the scarcity of Negroes in Western fiction and drama is becoming more a matter of historical ignorance than of outright prejudice. Consumers of Westerns have gotten soused to an all-white West that writers and directors are afraid to shock them with the truth. "They feel that the accurate representation of the Negro's role in the opening of the West would paradoxically seem to be a falsification of history...
