...want to admit this to you: I prefer Europe to NATO, and among the various forms of Europe it is that of the Six that I like best. But the other five absolutely want to bring England in." Monnet and his group, while they only talk about Europe, may be more astute interpreters of Europe's political reality than either De Gaulle or Adenauer. For that is their job-to turn "general aspiration into a concrete proposal," as one Monnet associate put it-and they have been doing it well since the committee was formed in October...
Such debates take up much of the South African Parliament's time. Once a government minister declared that it was scandalous that so many whites shook hands with Africans, said that Africans would prefer to be greeted in the traditional native way-an upraised hand with no pressing of the flesh. Out went government directives ordering traditional greetings to replace handshakes. The orders were quickly countermanded, however, when an opposition M.P. gleefully announced, after boning up on traditionalist lore, that if the greeting were employed, a white woman meeting a black man would have to kneel down and kiss...
...prefer cappuccina to scotch, you're in luck; a number of coffee houses have opened up in the last several years. Charles St., with three houses within as many blocks, bids fair to compete with Greenwich Village's Macdougal St. There is folk singing at Golden Vanity, in Kenmore Square, and at The Loft, on Charles St. Probably some of the others will have entertainers during the summer, but you should check before you go.

...Spain is his tall, handsome, newlywed son. Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon y Borbon, 24. Fortnight ago, he interrupted his honeymoon with Princess Sophie of Greece to present his bride to Franco at a lunch at Madrid's Pardo palace. Most Spanish monarchists are convinced that Franco would prefer the younger, more pliable Juan Carlos, when he becomes eligible at age 30 under the succession law. The theory is that El Caudillo still resents Don Juan's two bitter public anti-Franco proclamations in 1945 and 1947. Dictator Franco on many occasions has been warm and deferential...
...most delicate and difficult part of such restoration surgery is to rejoin the nerves so that they will resume their task of controlling the muscles. Neurosurgeons usually prefer to wait for weeks or months after the original operation before they attempt the job. The M.G.H. surgeons identified the three main nerve bundles in Ev Knowles's shoulder and arm, drew them together, and rejoined each with a single dacron stitch-a holding operation so that the nerves will not shrink...
