Bureaucrats and Butterbergs. The result is that the Common Market today is still little more than an imperfect customs union-which is precisely what France's President Georges Pompidou sneeringly called it while serving as De Gaulle's Premier. Joint policies on money and transportation have never been worked out. Uniform tax reforms were supposed to be completed by the beginning of 1970, but Italy and Belgium have airily announced that they will be unable to meet the date...

Witnesses claim, however, that the Arab had already been disarmed...

A few days later, he was in the group that met Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin at Peking Airport. Last month Li was the first Chinese official to make a statement on Richard Nixon's major address on Viet Nam. His line at the time was a tough one.
