...added. "European elections and a European parliament are not an impossible eventuality." Under those conditions, thinks Grimond, the Liberals could conceivably "become part of a widely based progressive or radical party" supporting such Liberal ideas as changes in the educational and social system, and limited redistribution of property ownership. With citizenship in a United Europe, concluded Grimond, "our friendship with the Americans should not be based on any exclusive interests, but on the coordination of European and American interests...
...Hollywood stars to leave the silver screen for the gold mines of TV, a onetime choirboy from Mountain View, Ark., who broke into the early talkies as a baby-faced crooner, later retyped himself as a good bad guy in a dozen movies, none as successful as his co-ownership (with David Niven and Charles Boyer) of Four Star Television, which had as many as 13 shows (among them: The Rifleman, Richard Diamond) going at one time; of cancer; in Hollywood...

Irene Pearl Smith Cliett, 63, shotgun-brandishing Texas farmer who, when federal courts ruled against her in a 1958 title fight for ownership of the farm, seceded her 705-acre spread from the Union and applied to the United Nations for membership; of cancer; in Glendale, Calif.

In France, state ownership of industry is estimated to be 20% or more. One lingering result of Mussolini's corporate state is that modern Italian businessmen must operate in an economy where more than one-third of business is controlled by the government. In Germany, Hitler's Third Reich started Volkswagen to produce his "people's car," but it made war vehicles instead and is still 40% state-owned. Governments control every major European airline-because...
