...with "Mr. Europe." First item on the agenda was the election of a new president to replace Jean Monnet, the indefatigable little Frenchman who first proposed the Coal-Steel pool and who has done most to make it work. Monnet resigned last fall in protest against the scuttling of EDC in the French National Assembly and the trend toward nationalism throughout Western Europe. Last month, hoping to stage a comeback for himself on the European idea, Monnet decided to seek re-election after all. But when his name came up last week as a possible French nominee...
...plea by The Netherlands' Foreign Minister Johan Beyen for a dramatic Monnet-style increase in the Community's powers. Backed by the Benelux nations, the Dutchman proposed 1) a common market for all European products, 2) the integration of European highways and railroads, 3) a European pool for the development of atomic power.

Operator Mary Taylor died at her switchboard and her son Eddie died in his pool parlor. So did six other men. Of Udall's 610 people, 73 were killed. Eighty-five were missing and unaccounted for. More than 200 were injured. Of the houses, 170 were smashed to bits, 16 damaged beyond repair and only one left unscathed. Almost all property and automobiles were wrecked. The city hall, three churches, the old grade school and new $250,000 high school...
...editors of 319, Harvard is a place where on does four things: shoot pool, drink, dance, and hang around the common room looking for votes. For pool shooters, they have provided detailed photographs of almost every public table in the University. Every party, every dance, must have been dutifully attended by a Yearbook photographer. And each of the eight House committees managed to summon a quorum and look properly awake for its constituents. But for the nonpool player who learned years ago that college students drink, attend parties, and politick, 319 has very little to offer...
