...tour university cities and woo reluctant engineering and science graduates. There is serious talk about untangling Europe's thicket of loosely drawn patent laws and providing new incentives for formation of Europe-wide companies. Prime Minister Wilson recently suggested the creation of a European Technological Community to pool the products of its science and laboratories. But Europe's postwar record at this type of cooperation is dismal. Only CERN, the atomic-research laboratory at Geneva, shows much accomplishment...

It would put into a "fish bowl" as many numbers...
...volunteers would go into the draft pool, but only for two years. Anyone not called between 18 and 20 would then be free. Details, like how to choose within the pool -- whether to defer students or have a lottery -- could be settled by whoever wanted to settle them...
